The return to more suspicious seas sets adrift young lovers,
as the world is rejoined by one who has trudged the first
path. A party, a missing classmate, old friends and enemies,
and an earthquake combine, as the realization that something
is lost comes to those who know. Sadness, trances, blushing
young girls, school fights and more.

(Series)
Inspired by the work of Takahashi Rumiko. Any resemblance between these
characters and her people of Ranma 1/2 is purely intentional. There have
been many fan-fictions written about Ranma and his troubles, so I thought I
would do something slightly different about someone from another continent.
In the first tale, Macho confronts the villian Sinestro, a black-hearted
scoundrel attempting to gain power and wealth in old Mexico.
Unfortunately, Macho has a treacherous weakness, unknown to any except his
family and a few close friends... when doused with hot (or warm) water, he
turns into a cute girl. Cold water turns him back to a normal boy.
Heh. Try to find cold water in the Mexican desert.
(Chapter 11)
Ramon and friends have escaped from the Apache, with a little
serpentine skill, only to find that the Apache have followed them
home. Ramon must seek a medicine plant to heal Dona Mercedes
without getting in hot water, and plans to rescue his mother come
to a critical point when Sinestro complicates the deal.

Size: 401 KB
Starts out with your basic Ranma 1/2 characters doing what they do best --
mayhem unrestrained. Ranma and friends find a slightly injured and
unconscious Chibi-Usa, now a twelve-year-old who's seen better days. Also,
Radler, the mysterious good guy with little memory of his past, is looking
for his charge, the Moon Princess. He's a skilled fighter who has little
control over his developing powers and finds himself stricken with a very
weird curse. The story then goes downhill from there: the bad guys -- which
incidentally are the inner senshi -- appear one by one to try and kill the
moon princess. Ranma and friends, as to be expected, defend the little girl
and plunge headlong into a fight that has been lasting for thousands of years.

[Keep sending the synopses, author-type people. It would be nice to see
the Lists getting up to the dream of listing all synopses for the week.
Please use the form provided, answer what you feel you can(name/email
addy/story name/summary are all that I need though, the rest of the
fields just help the readers out a lot.]
[Here is the easiest way to send your synopses, a blank synopsis form
to fill out. Remember, don't send these to the FFML, just to me, otherwise
it will create unwanted spam. Please be sure to have some sort of tag to
tell me that what you're sending is a synopsis ([Syn] is fine), lest your
summary get lost in the general hubbub of my mailbox.]
