Hello, all, and welcome to the finale of the Nameless Sequel.


	First off, 'Wow!'  I really liked this episode, and seeing
things come to an end.

	However, I'm getting really tired of anime fanfic writers
putting in references to Pulp Fiction.  It's a marvelous movie, I enjoy
it a lot, but it's getting a little heavy handed.  Consider this a
warning. :)

	Soun: (chewing) Wonderful chicken, Kasumi.

	Kasumi: (smiling) Duck, father. It's duck. 

	Soun: Wonderful duck, then.

	(Ranma looks slightly bothered, as if by something he can't
quite 
	place.)

	I may be sick...

	Scrolling Text: (in a nifty, Tom Clancy-like teletype effect) US

	DEEP SPACE INCURSION PREVENTION INSTALLATION (USDSPI), 
	IDAHO, MT. BADASS, 0023 HOURS

	Officer 1: (clipped tones) The object has cleared the orbit of
Mars, 
	sir.

	General: Does it conform to the specs of any of the 235 races we

	know of?

	Officer 2: No sir. We've never seen anything like it. Should I
have 
	the fleet move out from behind Venus?
---+
	Our tax dollars at work.  

---+
	General: Right. Get me ComPac on the horn, I want to speak to 
	CINCPac.

	Officer 3: ComPac is being repainted, General, and CINCPac is in

	labor at the moment.

	General: (incredulous) Admiral Arthur MacMarlon is in _labor_, 
	soldier? Are you aware of the penalties for drug abuse on duty?

	Officer 3: (apologetically) He took a goodwill tour to China
about 
	a year ago, and was visiting these cursed springs....

	General: (disgusted) The NinComPac.

	John falls on the floor, laughing, banging his head into
furniture so that he can stop laughing and breathe again.  "Excellent."

---+
	Priest: There's a demon from Hell chewing on the Holy Book.

	Akari: (mortified) Katsunishiki! STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!
---+

	Q: What does a two ton sumo pig eat?
	A: Anything it wants to.

	***

	The commentary switches to a TV news studio, where Fuu and Uni
from Magic Knight RayEarth are sitting on the set, being reporters.

	Uni: ...And so it turns out I've won the fencing match for the
fifth year in a row.  That's Sports.  Fuu-chan?

	Fuu: Thank you Uni-chan.  (turns to camera)  And now we go to
our live reporter, Hikaru-chan, on the scene in Nerima, where the end of
the world is apparently already in progress.

	<<Camera cuts to show Hikaru-chan, who looks like a very cute
and young Ranma-chan, holding a microphone.  Behind her is 'Our Lady of
Grevious Pain And Suffering'>>

	Hikaru: Thanks!  <Kawaii smile>  Well, here I am at the
Kuno-Tendo joint wedding in Nerima.  Here's some footage we've already
recorded.

---+
	Man: We're here for the alien invasion.

	Nabiki: That's down at the Presbyterian Church. This is the 
	wedding of Soun and Kasumi Tendo.
---+

	Hikaru: For a moment, I thought I was in the wrong place!

---+
	Tsung: (astounded) You mean both of you are _also_ isolated 
	Chinese warlords with a arrogant, imperious air, a horde of 
	powerful minions, a neat-looking palace, and a spectacular 
	martial arts special technique that seemed unbeatable until you 
	fought Ranma Saotome?

	Herb and Kirin: Why, yes.

	Tsung: (thoughtful) We are interested by this.
---+

	Hikaru:  And this reporter would now like to predict the
downfall of communism in china...

---+
	Cloaked Figure 1: You see? There is no danger to your planet.
Your 
	puny race is not about to be wiped out by the awesome power of 
	the T'Kraal Empire.
---+
	Hikaru: <<Uber-Kawaii smile>>  And isn't that a relief?

---+
	Cloaked Figure 1: I think he suspects.

	Cloaked Figure 2: Signal the lead ship to move into atmospheric 
	position.

	Cloaked Figure 3: Pass the bacon-balls.
---+

	Hikaru: These gentlemen are really great. I love how polite they
are.  Most aliens, travelling lightyears to attend a wedding and invade
the earth, don't take the time to learn the customs of the planet they
plan to havest.  <slight frown on face, staring up in the sky>  Like
some Cloud-nebulans I could mention...

---+
	Saburo: It's 30 miles to Nerima. We've got a full tank of gas, a

	carton of okonomiyaki, there's an alien spaceship hanging over
the 
	city, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

	(They think this over for all of a nanosecond.)

	Ranma and Saburo: (together) Hit it.
---+
	Hikaru: The producer would like to mention that he does,
however, approve of gratuitous Blues Brother references.

----+
	Kasumi: The earth part is incorrect. It is a Vk'dargh crystal 
	sculpture.

	Nabiki: (reading tag) To Kasumi, new Native Planetary Governor, 
	from the Empire.
---+
	Hikaru:  And much congratulations to our new Planetary Governor.
Earlier today, I interviewed her.

	<<Cut to interior of church.  Hikaru is interviewing Kasumi.>>
	Hikaru:  Any new planetary policies you intend to start?

	Kasumi: <smile>  Oh, I wouldn't want to upset all of those
leaders out there by telling them how to run thier countries!

	Hikaru: <smiles back>  Oh, I'm sure they're very happy to hear
that.

	Kasumi:  <slight worried look>  Unless, of course, they don't
start washing behind their ears.

	<< Back to exterior of the church>>
	Hikaru;  And so I believe the new Planetary Governer's basic
policy is: Personal Hygene or Else!

---+
	(The cat rips the bear apart in a shower of blood, and playfully

	begins to chew through a lamppost.)
---+

	Hikaru: <eyes big, body going SD>> HOW KAWAII!!!

---+
	Zen: (annoyed) No, I mean Tendou Akane! The devil in human form!

	She'll...

	(Akane mallets the monk into LEO, where he bounces nicely off
the 
	hull of the spacecraft.)

	Ryoga: (unhearing) SAOTOME, TODAY IS THE DAY I CRUSH..

	(He collides with a group of people and they go down in a tangle
of 
	arms and legs.)

	Ryoga: (trying to sit up) Uh, sorry...

	Herb: (sorting out his arms) Clumsy oaf!

	Tsung: (standing up) YOU! THE INFIDEL!

	Kirin: (irate) Has the cur insulted you, friend Tsung?

	Ryoga: (small voice) uh-oh.
---+

	Nabiki: Bets?  Bets?  Ryouga vs. The Warlords of China!  3-2
odds on Ryouga!

---+
	Shampoo: (eyes glowing) Dead men file no lawsuits! 
---+

	Nabiki: <pale>  Um... gotta go!

---+

	Well, after this it gets kinda confusing.  I liked it though...
especially with Felix being transported to Neptune.  We shouldn't see
him until...oh,  August, at least!


	Keep up the good work.  I hope the date with Ukyou shows up in
the epiloge!
