Prelude1 (AKA the lame excuse for this crossovers existence)
The following is an excerpt from my own story "Dimension Crux" witch is about a man made reality where beings from other universes meet and where the boundaries of reality don't apply. The main characters are in university one of the courses they take is in Reality. This course focuses on how to transverse the boundaries between different realties and how to create your own splinter universe. To demonstrate that there are people from all different realties in this world I have the courses taught by well-known fictional characters in this case Shin Seiki Evangelion's Fuyutsuki. In the final version of this fic I will also include the first chapter of DC, as it will tie into the story directly:
"Time and Space should not be represented on a 2D model. There is a third cosmic factor to be added to the equation^� Reality" Professor Fuyutsuki stated in monotone voice taking a moment to glance across the lecture hall. "As I am sure you are all aware there are a infinite number of universes or realities. If Time and Space are plotted on an X and Y-axis than Reality should form the Z-axis. The term for all these realities combined Is the Omniverse. Inside The Omniverse there are several subsections the Multiverse the Megaverse and so on. In between realities there are barriers that prevent Multidimensional travel. These barriers can be extremely strong like on reality PB7-093-RF1 commonly referred to as the world of the Nightbane. Or extremely week like on PB3-007-RF1 commonly revered to as the world of Rifts Earth. Occasionally certain worlds can be accessed through the use of items. For example reality FY-466-RF2 the world of the "Four Gods Sky and Earth" is accessed throu!
gh the use of a book. We can now cross the barriers of reality as easily as we can transverse time and space. All of you students in this lecture hall are from different realities.
In this class you will observe the unfolding events in different variations of realities, crossovers, go on "Ridealongs" with the RMP (Reality Military Police) and in your final project you will create your own Alteredreality on one of the major universes. We will start by observing crossovers.
Of all the realities where crossovers are common place reality HG-123-RF1 (the world of Robotechnology) is among the most prone to such occurrences. Some believe that this has something to do with its nature. That the universe has similarities to four separate universes MC-001-RF1, SC-002-RF1, MP-003-RF1 and MZ-004-RF1 (the realities of the Macross, the Army Southern Cross, the world of MOSPEADA and the Megazone). There is an old legend about this that a benevolent god Called Macek took the four universes and recombined them into one so that his followers (who's descendants would form the Praxian, Karbarian and other races of that reality's Southern Cross Star System) could inhabit this universe after theirs was destroyed by the Apocalypse Beast. In any event these fragile barriers are made even more fragile by the inhabitants of that universe using dimensional shifting in such a crude manor as hyperspace travel. The repeated use of hyperspace travel will eventually were down !
the barriers of that world and we will be left with another Rifts or Chaos Earth. In some splinter universes of Robotech this has already occurred. Then there are those that in an attempt to heal their barriers have fused with another universe.
Your first assignment will be to study a fussed universe. A catalog of fussed realities is available in the west library. You are to form into teams of 6-12 this will be your squadron for the year. You will work on the same projects but must each make a record of all the work done and another accounting of all the work you personally accomplish. Class dismissed."
Prelude 2(AKA the explanation of Prelude 1)
There are a near infinite number of realities in the Omniverse. Barriers witch guard against someone crossing realities separates each. If dimensional travel occurs without taking the proper precautions than the barriers are weakened as though tinny little holes are being poked through them. As the barriers weaken, crossovers between that reality and others become common. The point may come when the barriers are on the verge totally destroyed. At that point the universe will try to heal itself. The easiest way to do this is for the universe to Fuse with another reality. They would share barriers to become more stable the way atoms share electrons. This results in a combined reality where you either have something like the Amalgaverse or a world where the inhabitants of that world coexist without knowing that it was ever any other way. In one of the spin-offs of the Robotech reality this has occurred, the universe combined with a spin-off of the Dimension of Ranma Saotome.

Episode 1
"A Trip to Remember Part 1: Departure"
Some Say that the universe runs on coincidences
I personally can't believe that. Things often play
themselves out to smoothly. Call it God or follow
Lang's notions of the shapings. The fact is I find
ample evidence to suggest that their is a higher
power guiding us. You ask if I'm talking about Zor's plan?
Maybe partially but even his plan must have fallen into a larger plot. If you don't believe in "The Plan" then look how Ranma and Co. managed to get caught up in things. Nabiki's greed, the school trip and even the job offer from the UEG served one purpose, to get Ranma on Macross for the launch. Now if you say this is just luck then you should take it in context and look at the millions of other things that set the stage for the Robotech Wars.

as quoted in Zachary Fox Jr.'s
Men, Mecha and Anything Goes Martial Arts.
God's in his Heaven -
All's right with the world!
-- Robert Browning
Ranma Saotome of the Saotome school of Anything Goes Martial Arts walked home with Akane Tendo of the Tendo School of Anything Goes Martial Arts. Akane seemed completely blissful and at ease and that made Ranma edgy Akane always seems very happy right before she explodes on you. Not that Ranma had done anything wrong mind you^� but then Ranma never did anything to merit the treatment he gets from Akane it's always a misunderstanding. But today Ranma has nothing to fear Akane is genuinely happy. The students of Furinkan High School are going to be going on their school trip in a few weeks time. They will be travelling to the south Pacific Island of Macross.
Macross. Ranma thought. What a stupid name for an Island it better suits the ship that rests there.
"Aren't you excited Ranma?" Akane asked. "I mean just think about it. We will actually get to see the first lift off of the SDF-1 since it crashed on our planet ten years ago." The crash-landing of the SDF-1 had brought an end to the Global War witch took place before. Akane and Ranma had never really thought about the SDF-1 and the war before because they where to young to have felt the sting of the war and had no reason to consider the significance of the giant space battle fortress.
"Yeah whatever I don't see what the point is. It's just some stupid ship I have better things to worry about." Ranma replied. Ranma didn't think about the implications the launch of the SDF-1 would have. He was more concerned about things witch affected him personally. For instance at this moment Ranma was thinking about how he could get to the training ground of the cursed springs so that he could remove the curse that had been placed on him.
"Oh yeah like what." Akane was getting a little annoyed Ranma was spoiling her good mood.
"Ranma Saotome, I will make you relinquish your hold on Akane Tendo and the pig-tailed girl." A familiar voice screamed.
"Well, here's one example," Ranma said matter-of-factly. Ranma was actually relived to here Kuono's voice it gave him something to take out his frustrations on.
"I Tatewakei Kuono shall punish you infidel." Kuono yelled.
"Hey upperclassman Kuono what's up?" Ranma asked casually. If Kuono wanted a fight Ranma would be more than happy to oblige.
"Prepare to die Saotome." Kuono responded as he lashed out with his boken. The wooden sword didn't even touch Kuono's opponent. Ranma easily dodged Kuono's blows.
Then Ranma said "Sorry Kuono but I don't have time for this right now Chestnuts roasting over^�" Just then a Ranma moved into the path of an old lady who was spooning water onto the street. A transformation took place Ranma, that is, Boy-type Ranma had disappeared to be replaced by a young female redhead.
"Saotome prepare to feel my^� pig tailed girl! Where did you come from? Where did the coward Saotome run off to? No matter shall we date?" Kuono asked pulling a bouquet of flowers from seemingly out of nowhere.
"Oh yes Kuono lets. I have always wanted to be your^� Executioner" Ranma-chan said as she uppercuted Kuono sending him flying.
"Come on Akane lets go." Ranma suggested.
As Ranma and Akane arrived at the Tendo Doujo they herd noise coming from the main room. "What?" the voice screamed then calmed down for the rest. "Daddy dearest are you saying what I think your saying?"
"I wonder what's going on. Do you have any idea?" Ranma asked Akane.
"Not at all I haven't any idea what could make Nabiki lose her cool like that." Akane replied.
"Father are you saying that you turned down the offer. The United Earth Government offered you a job instructing the soldiers of the new army in Martial Arts and you turned it down?" Nabiki was starting to fume.
"Oh hello Akane, Ranma how was school?" Kasumi asked.
"What's wrong with Nabiki Kasumi?" Akane inquired of her sister.
Kasumi replied "Oh she's just^�"
"SHE IS JUST TRYING TO TALK SOME SENSE INTO HER FATHER." Nabiki interrupted then returned to her previous conversation with her Father. "Daddy do you have any idea how much money you could get working for the UEG? Let me tell you we could be making EIGHT THOUSAND standard credits a month. Let me tell you we where never doing to well here in Tokyo. Martial arts Doujo's are a dime a dozen here. And the Yen isn't as strong as it used to be. Taking this offer would move us to a prime location. Macross is a real boomtown right now and it's perfect for people like us who are in the self-defense business because all the soldiers need to train and the civilians will be interested. I mean I heard that the majority of the settlers of Macross are Asian many of them are from Japan. Daddy it is the perfect business venture."
"Nabiki you only think about money don't you? I would love to accept but I can't leave Tokyo until Ranma and Akane are ready to take over the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts." Soun Tendo replied.
"Well Daddy can you do me a favor and at least check it out go to Macross? They sent you plane tickets didn't they?" Nabiki was pressing the issue as Ranma and Akane just looked on.
"Well yes but they only sent three tickets. I couldn't leave you children behind." Tendo replied.
"Well that's perfect the school is taking a trip to Macross to see the launch. So that takes care of Akane, Ranma and myself. And that leaves the three tickets for you Mr. Saotome and Kasumi." Nabiki said.
"Very well then I guess we can at least check it out." Tendo said. Nabiki had one the battle of wills for the moment.
***********************************************************************************************
A few weeks later the school trip was about to begin. The airport was filled with students, staff and a few others who won't be named at this point. As Akane's class was about to board their plane someone grabbed Akane's hand. "Akane Tendo you shall accompany me on the flight." The voice said.
"Yeah right Kuono." Akane said in sarcastic tone as she punched out the Kendo captain. "Honestly Kuno will never give up will he?" Akane and Ranma where the last to enter the plane. The only seats they could find were together.
The in-flight movie was some gaijin film called "Staru Warsu Episode Iichi" It was a real horrible movie. There was this annoying lizard creature in it called Jaru-Jaru. And the demonic villain who looked real cool had like five lines. Ranma couldn't stand it he had read the manga versions of the other parts of the series and they had seemed to make some sense at the time but this was horrible.
After a few hours (which seemed more like days thanks to the horrible choice in movies) the trip ended and they were on Macross Island. Nabiki was the first of the plane. "I don't know about you Akane but I'm famished."
"Nabiki why didn't you eat on the plane?" her younger sister asked.
"Because Akane I didn't want to kill myself. Plane food and hospital food has to be the worst thing imaginable." Nabiki informed her sister.
"Oh I could think of worse cooking" Ranma replied as he emerged. "A certain tomboy's for example."
"Ranma why don't you just^� DROP DEAD" Akane said as she flipped Ranma onto the pavement.
After a while they finally decided to go for dinner. Ukyo invited herself along.
"Dear Akane:
I am in training and will not be able to see you for some time. The scenery is very nice. Though with the tropical atmosphere and military officers hanging around one would almost think it was Macross and not Hokkaido. I know your on a class trip to Macross so it will be a while before you can^�read^�my^�letter" Ryoga stopped writing. What? Ryoga thought. That was Akane. "Akane!" Ryoga yelled as he tripped over a sprinkler. The sprinkler transformed Ryoga into P-chan the black piglet.
"P-chan how did you get here?" Akane was delighted yet baffled.
"Oh you know Mr. P always getting lost never know where he'll turn up next." Ranma said.
"Ranma he's not Ryoga. No matter hi baby." Akane said to the pig in a tone that nauseated Ranma.
After a while they arrived at a restaurant called the "White Dragon Chinese food and ramen shop".
As they went inside they where met by a Chinese girl. "Hello welcome to the White Dragon."
Ranma tried to explain "e-to sumimasen. Eago warkrimasen. " Then tried again. "I n-o sp-ea-ku engrish."
"Oh I see your Japanese. Minna-san, Konbanwa. Watashiwa Lynn Minmei desu" Amazing this Minmei spoke perfect Japanese. "Korewa Shao Pai Long. Suate kudasai."
The bridge of the SDF-1 was an experiment in controlled chaos. Sammy Kim and Vanessa who had already earned the title the "Terrible Trio" or the "Bridge Bunnies" had Their hands full with preparations and where carrying on several conversations at once.
"Hello? Hi Roy, listen I'm a little busy right now but^�" Claudia Grant said over her headset she had to help the Trio out with their work because everything was behind schedule. "Oh so you're friend accepted your invitation. It's a little late to enter the reservation now but I'll see what I can do. What's the reservation number you gave him? Okay there it's entered. You owe me for this Lt. Roy Fokker."
Meanwhile a galaxy away the mighty Zentradie armada was making preparations of their own. "Lord Breetai." Exadore addressed his superior. "We have tracked down Zor's ship."
"Are you certain this time? If the Masters Empire is to survive we need the Protoculture Matrix." Breetai trusted his Domillian but he needed to be sure.
"Positive my lord." Exadore replied there could be no mistake they had finally found the Flagship of the Robotech Masters.
"Excellent." Mighty Breetai was indeed pleased with this news. He ran his fingers across the metal faceplate that covered half his face, which concealed the wound that he received the last time he saw Zor's Fortress. That time Zor had set the ship down at a remote outpost to restock their supplies. The Invid attacked that day and took the Zentradie by surprise. Breetai's troops fought valiantly but where unable to prevent Zor from being killed. Zor had sent his ship far away, to a place where the Masters would never find it. But apparently Zor the First Robotech Master had underestimate his overlords the Robotech Elders for now the Zentradie fleet was about to fold to earth and reclaim their lost ship.
>From his observation port Khryon the back-stabber looked on with interest. "Tell me Grel what is Breetai's fleet up to? Hmm."
"M'lord they have received orders to Fold on a mission of great importance. I belive the orders came from Dolza himself." Khyron's aid replied.
"So where are our orders?" Khyron was bored and a Krashiva is always most dangerous when they are bored or angry.
"Are orders are to simply remain with the grand fleet for the time being." Grel didn't want to be here who knows what Khyron might do in that fowl mood of his who he might end up ordering dead.
"WHAT? Breetai gets dispatched on a mission of the up most importance, Azonia is off fighting the Invid, and even my clone brother Kergen is off on special assignment scouting the fringes of the empire looking for new territories to conquer but Khyron the destroyer is sitting here being wasted. Tell me Grel where is the justice in that?" Khyron was now getting very angry.
"There is indeed no justice that Lord Khyron with his battle record is kept from battle." Grel knew he had to diffuse this situation as soon as possible.
"Blast it." Khyron took some of the petals of the Invid follower of life an ingested them. This sent Khyron into an euphoric state. "No matter I can wait a while longer." Then he burst out into maniacal laughter.
On Breetai's flagship the image of Dolza appeared on the square pojecbeam.
"Commander Breetai have you found the Zor's fortress?" The Bald Zentradie asked.
"Yes my lord. We have found the ship and would like your permission to fold away from the Grand fleet now to capture it." Breetai replied.
"Permission granted Commander^� And Commander I must now remind you how important this mission is without the Protoculture Matrix in the fortress the Robotech Masters Empire will crumble and fail." Then Dolza added silently to himself and with the Matrix I will be able to attain control of it.
"Yes my lord I know." Breetai acknowledged his superior's statements with a salute.
"May you will all of your battles." Dolza said as his visage disappeared.
Breetai turned to his aid. "Exadore patch me into the rest of the fleet." Then after a moment "Now here this. This is your Commander Lord Breetai speaking. We have been given an important mission, we have the task of regaining the Masters lost flagship. In it are many secrets we previously thought Zor took to his grave. With these secrets we will finally be able to destroy the Invid menace once and for all. We will complete this task for the greater glory of the Zentradie." Breetai paused for a moment while Exadore took Breetai off the speakers. Then Breetai issued the command. "Exadore prepare the fleet to fold in ten minutes. We will capture the SDF-1."
