_________________________________________________________________
(Opening theme:"Let it Rain.")
(Film begins two seconds after opening theme begins)
(Cut to the roof of a building several meters away from the Tendo
Dojo. A shadowy figure looks at the faraway dojo. The figure is
female, wearing a black jumpsuit with a black skimask covering
hear face, save her lips, her narrow brown eyes, and her silky
brown hair, which hung through a hole in the back of her skimask.
A black utility belt is wrapped tightly around her waist,
highlighted by a long katana blade, it's cruel steel blade hidden
in it's sheath. She can perfectly Nabiki talking to Ranma near
the pool, laughing and joking)
WOMAN:<This is unusual. After what Ranma did to her, why would
she talk to him in such a friendly manner. Something is wrong.
Very wrong.>
(The woman jumps 50 meters in the air and focuses on negative
emotions, of which she had plenty. A small chi shpere forms in
her right hand, which she then raises to the sky)
WOMAN:SHISHI HOKOUDAN!!
(The shpere grows to a ten meter circumference, a powerful green
ball, then dissipates, leaving a dark afterimage burned in her
eyes. She lands without noise on the roof, and looks at other
open areas of the dojo. Nothing else out of the ordinary)
WOMAN:<Getting soft, Ranma? Only yesterday when I did that, you
were jumping around, looking to see if I were ready to take my
vengence upon you. Even when sparring with Ryoga, when he used
that manuver, you became real aware. I guess it's only fitting
that I ruin you from the shadows of surprise the very way you
ruined me. I will then punish Nabiki for her betrayal, but you
come first, you fucking bastard. Wouldn't hurt my planning if I
could see in the rooms, but they're completely closed off. Might
as well look at the entryway.>
(She jumps a couple of roofs, to get closer. It's at this time
that she sees a male figure in a black cloak walking to the door
and ringing the chime)
WOMAN:<FUCK!! I didn't plan to have other people come here! So
close... but I can't harm innocents, and if I move in now... I'd
better wait here and see what happens.>
(She looks at the man as it waited for someone to open the door.
Ranma opens it and let the person in. This would be interesting,
indeed)
--JESUS "JESSE" ZAMORA--
(Ranma closed the door after the cloaked man, who seemed pretty
nervous, as though he were being chased by someone)
RANMA:So, what do you want with us, might I ask?
YOUNG MAN(voice sounds just that little bit too much like
Ranma's):I've come to help you.
RANMA:How's that?
(The man takes off the cloak, revealing a mirror-perfect image of
Ranma, save that this man's red shirt and black pants are torn in
many places, and his blue eyes have a dark edge to them, almost
evil-looking)
YOUNG MAN(whispering):Let's talk in a secured area, where nobody
can hear. Bring Akane, Soun, Genma, Nabiki, and Kasumi as well.
They, too, are in danger.
--AND HENRY "HO-SUNG PAK" LEE--
(Ranma runs over to the pool to fetch Nabiki)
RANMA:Nabiki, come with me. It seems our friend thinks we're in
trouble.
NABIKI:Hmm?
RANMA:He wants to go to a part of the house where we can't be
eavspropped on. I figure that your room will work, so we're
gonna hold a little meeting there. You get my pop and Kasumi,
I'll handly your pop and Akane, okay?
NABIKI:Sure, I suppose.
--PRESENT--
(In Nabiki's room, a small space to cram seven people, a circle
is formed around the young man in this order [from top center]
Soun, Genma, Kasumi, Akane, Nabiki, and Ranma)
GENMA:Before we begin, how about you give us your name.
YOUNG MAN:My name... (stares coldly at Ranma) Is Ranma Saotome.
(Everyone in the room stares at the young man with disbelief,
especially Ranma)
RANMA(smiling):We're all over the place, I SWEAR!
YOUNG NAM(ANOTHER RANMA?):Need proof? I need cold water.
(Kasumi produces a glass of cold water from nowhere, and hands it
to the young man)
RANMA:<She must have begun training with Akane.>
(The young man splashes the cold water on his face, becoming the
splitting image of Ranma's female form. She even has the same
instinct to tighten her belt. However, she seems not to care
that her nipples poke out through the tears in her shirt)
YOUNG [WO]MAN:Don't you have this problem as well, MR.SAOTOME?
--IN THE TRADITION OF "RYOGA:CROSSOVER" AND "PULP FANFICTION"--
RANMA:Yeah, but you might have landed in the same spring as I.
You some sort of crazy stalker?
YOUNG [WO]MAN:No. I come from the world on the other side of the
mirror.
NABIKI:You've been watching too many of them "Gumbi" episodes if
you ask me.
RANMA:I know, right?
KASUMI(handing the young [wo]man a kettle of hot water):Here.
YOUNG [WO]MAN(Handing it back to her without looking at her):No
need. I enjoy this form much more than my actual form.
AKANE(staring at young [wo]man's upper torso):You obviously enjoy
walking around half naked in that form, too.
YOUNG [WO]MAN(smiling, staring at Akane):YOU obviously enjoy
looking at these, don't you? (she raises her breasts a little
with her hands. Akane looks away, blushing)
RANMA(annoyed):Oh, god... (rolls his eyes into his head)
--RANMA SAOTOME TAKES A LOOK...--
RANMA:So, RANMA, tell us of your "world beyond the mirror."
DARK RANMA-CHAN(YOUNG [WO]MAN):Alright. Hold on, this is going
to shock you.
--THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS--
--CHAPTER ONE: WORLD BEYOND THE MIRROR--
(Opening theme fades away)
(Dark Ranma-chan sits down in her place in the center of the
circle. She waits for all eyes to settle on her, which happens
quickly, then begins)
D. RANMA-CHAN:My world used to be very much like your own. I was
cursed at the Jusenkyo spring. Father tried to marry me off to
that goddamn tomboy bitch, Akane. Ryoga and I faought
constantly. Kuno tried to kill me and free the "Pig-tailed
goddess" every time we met. Anything I miss?
(Background music:"Boom Biddy Bye Bye.")
RANMA:Well, that's a general norm for my life.
AKANE:I am not a tomboy, and I am most certainly no BITCH!
(Akane leaps at D. Ranma-chan, weilding her hammer. Just as
Akane gets close enough to hit, however, D. Ranma-chan's eyes
glow a bright aqua blue)
D. RANMA-CHAN:KAZEO!!
(A tornado shoots from D. Ranma-chan's glowing eyes, sending her
crashing into the wall with a large thud. Akane slides onto
Nabiki's bed, completely unconscious and bruised all over. D.
Ranma-chan's eyes return to normal)
RANMA(staring at D. Ranma-chan in amazement):What the hell was
that??
(A tear silently falls down D. Ranma-chan's right cheek)
D.RANMA CHAN(coldly):It's a less forceful version of the
technique I used to turn her into a cripple in my world.
(everyone looks at the unconscios Akane, concern painted on all
faces)
D. RANMA CHAN:Don't worry. It seems that I don't care enough
about this version of her to permanently injure her.
RANMA(looking angrily at D. Ranma-chan):What do you mean you
don't "care" about her enough?
D. RANMA CHAN:It's what's turned my world into a hell, and me
into it's own goddamn devil. You see, Shampoo found some weird
ass spell that made you turn against everyone you cared about and
fall for the spell caster. Yet, the spell was in Japanese, and
being as bad at Japanese grammer as she is, she fucked up. Well,
as a result, I have become a psycho who will physically and
emotionally endanger any, and I mean ANY person I care about,
with no exception at all.
NABIKI:Just what did that tornado do to her. In your world, I
mean.
D. RANMA-CHAN:It sent her flying into the wall of Dr. Tofu's
clinic at what I figure to have been 600 KPH. As you might
imagine, her spine was completly shattered. Crushed a few
organs, too. Other injuries included loss of a lung and a
kidney, as well as some brain damage.
NABIKI:Brain damage?
D. RANMA-CHAN:Let's just say she might as well have taken speech
lessons from Shampoo, and has 1/10 the intellegence of Kuno.
(The image of Akane living in that condition forms in Ranma's
mind. It has a very negative affect on his view of D.
Ranma-chan)
RANMA(trembling with anger):Sounds to me like you've got no idea
how to control your muthaphukkin power!
D. RANMA-CHAN(looking over Kasumi):Kasumi-san, do you still have
that kettle?
KASUMI(handing the kettle from before to D. Ranma-chan):Sure.
(Soun takes notice of D. Ranma-chan's unwillingness to look at
Kasumi)
SOUN(to D. Ranma-chan):Something wrong with my daughter?
RANMA:<Probably guilt over some other bullshit he's done.>
(D. Ranma-chan splashes herself with the kettle's water, then
hands it to Nabiki)
NABIKI:What the hell am I supposed to do with THIS?
D. RANMA:What about your daughter?
SOUN:The fact that you seem unable to look at her. Kasumi, I
mean. Why?
(D. Ranma begins to break down)
D. RANMA(softly):No... I can't...
(D. Ranma hides his face in his hands and begins to cry softly)
RANMA(sympathetic):<Poor guy.> Let's get off the subject, he
seems to be losing it. <Must have done some really horrible
thing to her. Maybe he killed her?>
SOUN:Yes, you're right.
D. RANMA(looking up):Yes, let's do that. I warped to this world
looking to avoid a fight with someone who I hurt. However, I
think I pulled that person here accidently. Our buddy really
wants to kill me, like nobody ever has before.
RANMA:Wants to kill you? Wants to kill... ME??
(D. Ranma regains his full composure)
D. RANMA:You see why I came over here? If this person sees you
instead of me, you'll have no defense.
RANMA:And YOU will?
D. RANMA:I'm not sure. This person has learned all the
techniques of every martial artist you know, as well as all of
your... my... OUR moves. All for the sake of my head.
RANMA:Damn. The muthaphukker must want you bad.
D. RANMA:Yeah. This person took my little actions the worst.
NABIKI:You don't think we can get her to wait until we get a
paying audience, do you?
(Background music fades away)
D. RANMA(shaking his head, not far enough to see Kasumi):Never
change, eh, Nabiki-chan?
RANMA:She's like this over there, too?
D. RANMA:It was what led to my way to torture Soun.

(Opening theme:"Locotes.")
(Fils bigins immideately after theme begins)
(The woman looks at the dojo intently. Ranma and the man have
managed to stay out of view for a good hour or two)
WOMAN:<The guy's probably a high priest or something like that.
Such a damn futile effort, trying to clean that son of a bitch's
soul, that which cannot be cleaned. Save by THIS.> (She runs
her finger along her sword sheath with a huge, demented smile on
her face). <Of course, I can't kill him quickly. No, he'll
suffer my suffering a hundredfold.>
(She jumps down to the ground and hides behind a tree. She's now
just three meters from the dojo. She opens one of the pouches of
her utility belt and pulls out a small spatula, an exact replica
of the kind Ukkyo uses as projectile weapons)
WOMAN:<These will work quite nicely.>
(She stands there, waiting for Ranma, waiting forever. It's just
one of those things that has to be done CAREFULLY. After all,
this was her one and only shot at vengence, and she wouldn't want
to fuck up)
--JESUS "JESSE" ZAMORA--
(Ranma and D. Ranma are in Ranma's room while the others tend to
the still unconscious Akane in Nabiki's room)
RANMA:So, your friend has no idea that he's in another world?
D. RANMA:Exactly. Have you studied the abilities and tactics of
the other martial artists you know?
RANMA:Ryoga, Ukkyo, Genma, Soun, Shampoo, Cologne, Kuno, uh...
D. RANMA:It seems so. Well, we'd better get everybody else out
of here. The last thing we need is for our opponent to get
confused.
(Nabiki walks in)
NABIKI:Akane can stand up on her own, but daddy insists on taking
her to Dr. Tofu's.
--AND HENRY "HO-SUNG PAK" LEE--
RANMA:Well, darkside, how about you tell us what you've been
doing with your buddies back home?
D. RANMA(eyes shut):<damn, I knew this time would have to come.>
Alright. We'll have to congregate in Nabiki's room again,
though.
--PRESENT--
(Back in Nabiki's room, everybody is sitting in the same type of
circle as before, save Akane, who is layed out on the bed,
staring at the roof)
SOUN:So, what now?
RANMA:We listen to my counterpart's exploits.
NABIKI(with notebook and pencil in hand):Sounds good to me.
--THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS--
--CHAPTER TWO:EVIL UPON EVIL--
(Opening theme fades away)
D. RANMA:Where the hell do I start..?
GENMA:The beginning wouldn't be bad, ne?
SOUN(Nodding):I agree.
D. RANMA:Chronological, huh? So be it.
(Flashback 1 is at Uccan's, one night at midnight. D. Ranma is
walking along when he sees the store)
(Background music:"Killa Hill Niggaz.")
D. RANMA VOICE-OVER:I was walking along a few hours after Shampoo
had used her spell on me. I was trying to figure out what the
hell it was supposed to do, when I saw Ucchan's restaurant,
closed for the night. That was the first time.
D. RANMA:<Ucchan's Okonomiyaki restaurant. The most important
thing to Ukkyo aside from her pursuit of my heart.>
D. RANMA V-O:As if on cue, the need to set the place ablaze
consumed me. I ran like a madman to the Shell station and got me
a gallon of gas in one of those plastic containers and a pack of
matches. I then ran back and spread the gas evenly all over the
restaurant's foundation and splashed some on the sign and on the
stoves inside. I then ran out of the place and lit a match.
D. RANMA(coldly):Well, here goes. (Throws the match at the sign.
Ucchan's goes up in an amazing explosion. D. Ranma laughes
hystarically)
(Ukkyo runs up from the other end of the sidewalk)
UKKYO:MY RESTAURANT!! (She notices D. Ranma lighting matches and
throwing them into the fire, all the while laughing like a
madman). Ran-chan... YOU did this?
D. RANMA:You wanted your restaurant to be the hottest thing
around. Right, Ucchan? (He lets out another crazed laugh).
Well, NOW it is!!
UKKYO(crying):Why...? WHY!?!
D. RANMA V-O:I wished to God that I knew myself. But I didn't,
so I just ran away, laughing as though it were the most natural
thing in the world to ruin all your friend's dreams. Next
morning, I was in the room I shared with Genma, pillows wet from
having cried all night in guilt and disgust.
(flashback ends)
RANMA:Goddamn, what the hell motivated you to do that??
D. RANMA:I can't even figure it out myself. Just some sick urge.
And the pleasure I'd felt while doing it STILL rattles my nerves
some. Still feel it some, that's the weird part.
NABIKI(writing):Okay, we've got another Charles Manson over here.
AKANE(still staring at the ceiling):Couldn't agree more. OUCH!!
(She rubs the side of her neck).
D. RANMA:That ain't even the worst of it.
(Flashback 2 is at the zoo several weeks after the destruction of
Ucchan's. D. Ranma and his father are looking at the various
animals. Genma is feeding the tigers. Ranma holds a glass of
cold water)
D. RANMA V-O:I was still trying to figure out what the hell drove
me to torch Ucchan's when father and I took a little trip to the
zoo. The tigers seemed pretty hungry, and Genma was feeding some
bread to it.
D. RANMA:<I wonder...> (casually) Hey, pop. You think they eat
pandas?
D. GENMA(laughing):I dunno. Why, do you wanna see?
D. GENMA'S VOICE IN D. RANMA'S MIND:Do you wanna see do you wanna
see do you wanna see do you wanna see...?
D. RANMA V-O:I snapped again. I didn't see anything through the
blinding rage I felt.
D. RANMA:<DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT..> As a
matter of fact.. WHY NOT?!?!
(D. Ranma splashes his father with the cold water and throws the
panda into the tiger pen. The tigers and D. Genma Panda fight a
furious battle, and a dust cloud covers them. When the dust
clears, the tigers are dead, and D. Genma Panda is severely
injured. D. Ranma is looking at the spectical, laughing
maniacally)
D. GENMA PANDA(pissed):"What are you laughing at??!!"
D. RANMA V-O:Good question. Well anyway, when I came to my
senses, I was at home again, crying. I felt the same way as last
time, that sick mix of guilt and pleasure.
(End flashback)
AKANE:Sounds unlike even Ranma. Did anyone catch why our friend
is like this or was I supposed to guess?? I kinda missed it, for
obvious reasons.
(Nabiki tells her of what D. Ranma had said while Akane was
unconscious)
AKANE:Damn... Sounds weird. I hope that doesn't happen here.
RANMA:You bet your ass it won't.
GENMA:Don't do anything rash, boy.
RANMA:Of course, not.
NABIKI:Y5,000 says he does.
SOUN:Y5,000 says he doesn't. Even HE wouldn't fall facefirst
into this.
AKANE:I'm with Nabiki.
KASUMI(sweetly, smiling):Maybe you'd all like someting to eat
while you make bets. (Produces five turkey and cheese on wheat
sanwiches, each other person takes one)
D. RANMA(eating):HEY!! Did all of y'all forget me? I've got a
few more stories to tell...
AKANE(eating):First thing; why'd you cripple your world's version
of me. Short and sweet, onegai.
D. RANMA:Exactly where I was headed. Short, I can garentee, but
I don't know about sweet.
(Flashback 3 is at Dr. Tofu's clinic, the month after the zoo
incident. D. Ranma and D. Akane are in the midst of an argument)
D. AKANE:What the hell did you think you were doing?? Tripping
the principal of all things!! What's come over you?
D. RANMA:Something to do.
D. AKANE:Can't you grow up? This... I shouldn't be surprised,
after tossing your own father in a pen of angry tigers, and...
And setting Ukkyo's very livelihood on fire. You're getting more
and more childish by the minute.
D. RANMA:Tomboy!!
D. AKANE:Baka!!
D. RANMA:Uncute!!
D. AKANE:Bastard!!
D. RANMA:Bitch!!
D. AKANE:Coward!!
D. RANMA V-O:Snap. I felt my anger, and something else. Hate,
which I knew came from my love for her, somehow. But I didn't
care. I HAD to silence her to satisfy my rage and ego. It was
then that I devized that technique.
(D. Ranma's eyes begin to glow a blazing blue. He stares at D.
Akane)
D. RANMA:KAZEO!!
(Cut to D. Ranma sitting in a waiting room, smiling evilly)
D. RANMA V-O:The next thing I knew, she's in surgery getting
really small
fragments of her spine, a massively punctured lung, and a
mutilated kidney from her, and trying to save what little brain
tissue she had left. They also put her onto some sort of machine
to send the necissary impulses that make the organs work because
her brain was rendered unable to send those impulses with her
spine gone. They should've let her die. However, as I sat
in the waiting room, I didn't cry. I didn't feel any emotion.
No guilt, shame, or anything. Except that weird...
RANMA V-O:Good feeling all over?
D. RANMA V-O:Yeah.
(End flashback)
AKANE(faintly):My GOD... Over THAT...
D. RANMA:Very little of what I've done in the last twelve months
sticks out quite like that.
(Background music fades away)
RANMA:So, what's next on "Tales From the Crypt?"
D. RANMA(eyes closed):<God dammit why?!! Can't I get around what
I did to Kasumi...??>
(As if on cue, a thud is heard from outside, apparently from a
sharp object hitting a tree)
(Cut to the woman waiting in the trees, seconds before. Having
gotten sick of waiting for Ranma, she decides to toss the spatula
at the closest tree to the actual dojo)
WOMAN:<That'll attract the little shit.>
(Back in Nabiki's room, the others turn their heads in the
direction of the thud, not that they can see anything)
D. RANMA(in a commanding voice):The time comes!! Get everybody
out of sight, especially Akane, Nabiki, and Kasumi. It's time I
dispached my stalker once and for all.
RANMA:Not without me. My father and the Tendos are in danger,
and I will not have you risking their lives without me there to
pick up the pieces.
SOUN:Need us?
D. RANMA:STAY THE HELL OUT OF VIEW, GOD DAMMIT!!
RANMA:I'm not leaving. But Soun and Genma ARE going to get the
girls to a safe place. NOW!!
D. RANMA:Alright, Ranma. Let's do it.
RANMA:So, who is he?
WOMAN'S DISTANT VOICE:KAZEO!!
(In the distance, trees being torn apart could be heard.)
D. RANMA:HER! I can't believe I could have drove HER of all
people to this.
RANMA:How about giving me a name? Ukkyo?? Nabiki?? Shampoo??
Cologne?? Hell, if the last two used that sort of spell on ME,
I'd be coming up with some GOOD shit to do to them.
D. RANMA:<Cut the shit, give him the name.>
(everyone had stood up to leave, but are now staring at D.
Ranma--save Kasumi who had left to prepare the basement to handle
the people it was going to occupy)
D. RANMA:<Maybe not.> Can't it wait 'till we get her??
(Everybody falls flat on their faces. Then Soun, Genma, Nabiki,
and Akane go to the basement)
RANMA:How can you be SO pathetic about this person after being so
calm about crippling Akane?
D. RANMA:I can't understand that, myself.
(They both leave for the pool)
