PROLOGUE:

	It's five years after Ranma-kun dissapeared in a blinding flash of brilliant
red ki. He didn't die as everyone thought, he was transported to Hell. The
second Ranma-kun arrived he was fighting for his life, he landed in the
middle of a war that would decide the heirachy of Heaven and Hell.

	Life went on as normal (if you could call it that) except that Ukyou and the
other's never dated anyone after Ranma dissapeared, Ukyou honed her martial
skills, and created and mastered several powerful ki techniques. 

Chapter: I
Ranma Goes to Hell


	Well the scene opens to a beatiful sunrise over Nerima, which we see a
sudden swarm of birds scatter as we hear the sounds of fighting. We pan to a
traditional japanese house and dojo. The sounds of combat seem to be coming
from the back of the house. We see two people sparring, over a koi pond. The
two opponents seem evenly matched, the two people sparring are a older man in
a off-white gi and a white bandana covering his head and the other person is
a young man wearing a red silk chinese shirt and black silk chinese pants.
The young man seems distracted this morning as though he was looking for
something that was not there.

	"Ranma! pay attention to the match," yells the older man who suddenly spin
kicks Ranma-kun in the gut. He was surprised that his kick got through his
opponants defenses, he just stands there.

	Ranma-kun on the other hand is kicked into the koi pond. Then we see a young
red headed girl appear where Ranma-kun had fallen into the koi pond. "Great
just what I needed Pop!" The young girl gets out of the pond and heads toward
the house.

	"Well Ranma that wouldn't have happened if your attention was on the fight,"
said Ranma-chan's father. "What was distracting you my son?"

	"Nothing that would concern you old man," said Ranma-chan in a very calm
voice, that boardered on cruel. Her father stood there in shock, then she
added, "It's probably your falt any way."

	As Ranma-chan heads for the bathroom we see her with a distant look in her
eyes. The look is of someone who is expecting an attack any minute.
Fortunately for her the bathroom was empty, she decides to take a bath after
her sparring match earlier. However, she can't shake the feeling that
something is not right, she shrugs it off as she rinses  with cold water.
After she completely washes herself she enters a tub of hot water she feels
the tingle of the curse taking affect. He stays in the tub for a while to
relax.

	Akane returns from her morning jog to practice. She quickly changed into her
yellow gi and stacks five cender blocks. Akane raises her arm high and yells,
"KYAAA!" She breaks through all of the cender blocks without flinching in
pain.

	Ranma-kun enters the dojo to practice his kata's. He notices Akane and says,
"Hi," as he starts his kata's. He is going through a difficult series of
punches, kicks, and blocks, that Akane can barely see him execute.

	Akane summons up her courage and asks, "Ranma-kun could you please show some
me of the kata's you're doing?" She is expecting him to refuse her and make
fun of her, so she doesn't get her hopes up.

	Ranma-kun still can't shack the feeling that something unusual is goning to
happen and thinks for a minute before answering. "Sure I geuss I could,
Akane," Ranma said. Akane's surprised that he agreed. Then he does the kata's
at a slower pace, so she can follow all of his motions. Ranma shows her the
kata then watches her perform it and corrects her where she does it wrong.

	They're at this for an hour, when Kasumi calls, "Ranma! Akane! Lunch is
ready!" They head to the house to get the promised food just as they get
there Genma is already chowing down the food like there's no tomarrow, they
sit down to eat. Lunch goes by rather quitely, which in itself is odd. Sence
Ranma-kun and Akane fight woth each other all the time. Through out the
entire meal Ranma felt uneasy, but shrugged it off as nothing unusual.

			*				*				*

	In the late hours of a clam afternoon Ryouga appears out of nowhere and
shouts, "RANMA, PREPARE TO DIE!" They start to fight like usual, but Ryouga
is landing more hits on Ranma-kun than usual. Do to that feeling Ranma-kun
has, Ryouga knocks him into the koi pond.

	Ranma-chan is getting angry because she is tired of always fighting Ryouga.
She is unconsciously powering up, by tapping into her anger. Her clothing
looks like it's blowing in a wind as does her hair, but as she continues to
fight a pale aura appears around her. Everyone is staring at Ranma-chan.
Ranma-chan either doesn't notice or doesn't care, but she does relize that
she is having a easier time of hitting Ryouga.

	Ryouga notices the aura and is scared because he's never seen Ranma-chan
with a aura like this before. Ranma wanting to end the fight, yells out,
"KACHUU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN," before proceeding to throw countless punches at
Ryouga. Ranma-chan notices that she is throwing more punches than possible
and that they have even more force behind them, than is possible in her
female form. Ryouga being unable to block the ferocious attack is nocked into
the wall, very hard. Ranma-chan and Akane both run to check on Ryouga. He's
unconscious and bruised every place Ranma-chan landed a punch on him.
Ranma-chan is shocked that she was able to do this to Ryouga and is scared
that she did this to her 'friend' without realizing it. Ranma-chan heads in
to the house to call Dr. Tofu. "Dr. Tofu This is Ranma could you please come
over to the dojo. Ryouga's in need of your help. Thanx!" Ranma-chan hangs the
phone and goes back to the over's. "Guy's Dr. Tofu is on his way over to
check on Ryouga."

	Kasumi approaches the group and says, "Ranma-chan why don't we move Ryouga
to the guest room while we wait for Dr. Tofu." The group nods in agreement.
Ranma-chan and Akane move Ryoouga to the guest room.

			*				*				*

	Dr. Tofu grabs what supplies he might need to treat Ryouga. As he races
toward to dojo he runs into Ukyou who is also heading toward the dojo with
some food. "Why hello Ukyou where are you heading?"

	"Dr. Tofu I'm bringing Ranchan some food." Ukyou replies with a smile. As
she walks to the dojo. "Why are you going to the dojo?"

	"Well it appears that Ryouga's hurt and needs my help." Dr. Tofu tell Ukyou
who has on a face of surprise. The two reach the dojo in short order and
proceed in.

	Ranma-chan hears the door open and runs to see who it is. Ranma-chan is
surprised to see Ukyou, "Dr. Tofu Ryouga's up in the guest room." The docter
hurries past Ranma-chan and Ukyou. "Ukchan what a surprise to see you here.
Come in." Ranma-chan lets Ukyou past, they head for the living room.
Ranma-chan has a sad air around her for some reason.

	Ukyou notices Ranma-chan's silence and is worried about it. "Ranchan whats
wrong with you tonight I've never seen you this quite and withdrawn before.
Come on tell me what's wrong." She watches Ranma-chan while she decides
wheather to talk about it ot not.

	After a while Ranma-chan starts to talk. She tells Ukyou about the fight and
what happened to Ryouga as a result of it. Ukyou was surprised to hear what
happened to Ryouga, concidering that he is practiculy immune to pain and
injury. She was also shocked to hear about the pale white aura that Ranma-cha
had when she was fighting Ryouga. "Excuse me Ukchan while I go get cleaned
up." Ranma-chan leaves Ukyou there and heads to the bathroom. 

			*				*				*

	About ten minutes later the entire house is filled with a Ranma-kun's
scream. Everybody rushes toward the bathroom to find out whats wrong. Ukyou
being the first to arrive stops dead in her tracks. As does everyone else
when they see Ranma-kun holding a monkey tail in his right hand. Ranma
notices everyone staring at him, "Alright, everyone out." Ranma-kun says on a
cold tone, sence ha doesn't know what to make of this knew problem. Everyone
slowly turns around and leaves Ranma-kun alone.

	Except for Ukyou who stays. She asks him, "Ranchan, what happened?" 

	Ranma-kun looks at her with frightened eyes and tells her, "Ukchan, I don't
know how this happened. But when I changed back I felt something weird at the
base of my spine, then the next thing I knew, I had a tail." He has finish
dressing, after modifying his pants to accomidate his tail, and as he gets up
to leave he falls over. "What's wrong with me. Why can't I walk." Ranma-kun
asks in a slightly shakey voice.

	Ukyou thinks for a moment. "Ranchan, I think the reason you can't walk
normally is that your center of balance is out of whack because you have now
have a tail. Just give it time and I'm sure your balance will return." Ukyou
says as she moves to help Ranma-kun walk down to living room.

	As the two reached the bottem of the stairs. Ranma-kun looks at the people.
With a hesitent voice says, "I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier." After
saying this Ranma-kun and Ukyou head for the couch to sit down.

	Dr. Tofu gets up and heads over to Ranma-kun to examine him. "Ranma-kun
would you care if I ran some tests. To if I can figure out why you suddenly
grew a tail?" Ranma-kun looks at the docter and nods his approval. After an
hour of examining Ranma-kun Dr. Tofu returns to the clinic to look up a few
things and would get back to them in the morning.

			*				*				*

	Ranma-kun had a fitful sleep, he was plagued by dreams of people with tails
terriorizing a universe with no way to defend Chyakyuu. Then Ranma-kun saw
scenes of a man's life, he had black spikey hair and a tail when he was
younger. Then the same man was older, he didn't have his tail anymore.
Ranma-kun saw several of the battles the man had had in his life and was
surprized how powerful he was. He woke with a start from the dream he had and
remembered most the events from the dream and the mans name. Son Gokuu, whats
his conection to me growing a tail and why am I dreaming about him.

	Ranma-kun got up and tried to walk, but he was having dificulties. Ranma-kun
was slowly getting his center of balance back. Ranma made it to the kitchen
with out too much trouble. His balance was still to out of whack, though he
was getting getting better he still has trouble walking normally. "Good
morning. Kasumi when's breakfast?" he asked from the door.

	"Oh! Good morning Ranma-kun. You startled me and breakfast will be ready in
a few minutes." Kasumi replies cheerfully and resumes the meals preperation.
			*				*				*

	The morning passed with little excitement. Ranma-kun has regained his sense
of balance. Ranma-kun's tail lashed about nervously while he waited for the
docter. The entire house hold is waiting for Dr. Tofu to return with
information about the tail. Ukyou showed up at the dojo to wait with the two
families. Dr. Tofu showed up at the door, about twenty minutes after Ukyou.

	Ranma-kun rushed to greet the docter. "Dr. Tofu, please enter." Ranma-kun
let Dr. Tofu past him, and then followed him to the rest of the waitting
family and Ukyou. Ranma-knu remained standing

	Dr. Tofu let everyone settle down before he explained what he discovered. He
told them about the legend of the Monkey King and verious other anomalies he
discovered from the days previous tests.

	While Dr. Tofu was telling them about what he discovered Ranma-kun noticed
simalarities between the Monkey King Legend and the dreams he had the
previous evening. He waited for Dr. Tofu to finish. "Dr. Tofu last night I
had a wierd dream about a man who is very simuliar in appearence to Monkey
King from the legend. He was saving a planet from all sorts of danger's."
Ranma-kun retold as much of the mans adventures as he could remember clearly
over lunch. "The man's name is Son Gokuu, and he is from an alien race called
the Saiya-jin."

	The people gathered were empressed with the tales Ranma-kun had told them.
"Dr. Tofu I believe the Monkey King, from the legend, was a mamber of this
race, but to the reason why I now have a tail is still confusing."

	Dr. Tofu thought for a moment. "Ranma-kun what if one of his decendents
drowned in the same spring you fell into."

	Ranma-kun regaurded the docter for a minute. "But then why did I get the
tail now and not when I first emerged from the spring?"

	"Ranma-kun maybe the tail will only grow, or re-grow, under the right
conditions." Replied Dr. Tofu.

	Ranma-kun thought on this for a minute, but while he did this he was
surrounded by a deep red aura, as the aura formed around him, it was causing
him great pain. Everyone back away from him in fear of seeing this dark of an
aura. Then Ranma-kun started to fade from this plain of existance. Ukyou
lunged toward him to pull him out, but as she tried to grab him her hand
passed right through him, she thought she felt him grab her, she felt like
part her soul was wrenched from her body. She collapsed from the spiritual
pain.

	Ranma-kun was in great pain, as he saw Ukyou lung toward him, he reached for
her his hand passed right through her skin and grabbed something else and he
felt her grab on to him. As he faded he felt a terrible pain rip through him
to his very soul.

			*				*				*

	Ranma-kun woke to the sounds of fighting, he was up and ready for a fight in
an instant, but what Ranma-kun was witnessing was truely terrifying, there
were people fighting like there was no tomarrow. They had no reguard for the
land around them. Then Ranma-kun saw the the man from his dream, and what
surprised him was the lack of ferocity at which he was fighting, but the
simple pleasure of fighting that was on his face.
