Fear.  That was something that Ranma never thought associated 
with himself.  Pride, arrogance, and maybe even a bit of nervousness, 
but never fear.  It struck him hard in the soul, and rocked the very 
foundation of his being.  He began to worry, a drop of blood making it's 
way down his chin as he bit his lip too hard.  But he is a martial 
artist and a man, and they know no fear.

	But this was different.  No martial artist had ever been thrown 
into a situation like this, with literally the entire world resting on 
their shoulders.  It's a heavy burden to bear alone.  It made him want 
to cry out for someone, anyone.  But Ranma is a martial artist and a 
man, and he won't complain.

	So there he stood, in the middle of the city, gazing intently at 
his opponent, studying him for weaknesses.  Ranma reached over his 
shoulder, and grabbed the knife there.  As he wrapped his fingers around 
the hilt, feeling the balde set up its ultrasonic resonance, one thought 
raced through his mind.

	I will not run away.  I will not run away.

	And Evangelion Unit 01 went once more into the breach.


<A few notes.  This is not Ranma meets Evangelion.  If I decide to 
continue this, this will be a complete rewrite of Evangelion using Ranma 
 characters, as well as characters of my own creation.  First off, I 
will be bumping the time frame of Ranma up to match Evangelion.  Second, 
I will probably be doing away with every Eva character, and 
supplimenting them with characters of my own creation, so don't be 
looking for Nabiki playing the role of Ritsuko.  Finally, I don't know 
if I would be taking the other Eva pilots from the Ranma cast, or 
creating them myself.  Other then that, the Ranma universe is staying 
pretty much the same.  I would be cutting down on the wackiness a lot, 
and doing a few other things to bump up the seriousness.  I don't know. 
 Maybe this is a stupid idea.  I really should get to work on my RE 
bits, and my other Ranma fic, but this attacked me in the middle of a 
Eva marathon.  Sorry if this offended you.  Let me know what you think.>

until we touch down and seize our dreams,
