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. In a rare moment of compassion Genma asks, "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 under her breathe, "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 looking kata at
the moment. The movements are slower than usual and have such grace and
fluidity that anybody who doesn't study martial arts would have sworn it was a
dance.

	Akane summons up her courage and asks, "Ranma-kun could you... please show
teach me the kata 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 going to
happen and thinks for a minute before answering. "Sure I geuss I could,
Akane," he replies. Akane's surprised that he agreed. Then he does the kata so
she can follow all of his motions. Ranma-kun shows her the kata then watches
her perform it and corrects her where she does it wrong.

	They're at this for a few hours, when Kasumi calls, "Ranma-kun! Akane-chan!
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 rather
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. She
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 she ever has 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. She 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, "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 Ryouga 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?"

	"Oh, hello 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's
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. 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. 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-chan
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 simian tail in his right hand. Ranma notices everyone
staring at him, "Alright, everyone out." Ranma-kun says on a cold tone, sence
he 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?" 

	"Ukchan I thought I told you to leave." Then 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. Ukchan could you excuse me why i finish
getting dressed." 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, as
Ukyou walks back in.

	Ukyou thinks for a moment, but draws a black. "Ranchan, 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 talk to him. "Ranma-kun would
you care if I ran some tests. To see 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. 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. He was
slowly getting his center of balance back. Ranma made it to the kitchen with
out too much trouble. His balance was still off, 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. 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 much 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 can I talk to you in
private," asks Ranma. Dr. Tofu nods his ascent and they head to the Ranma's
room. "Dr. Tofu last night I had wierd dreams 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. "The man's name is Son Gokuu, and he is from an alien
race."

	Dr. Tofu was 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. They went downstairs and joined everybody for
lunch and filled them in on their thoery.

	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 began back away from him in fear of  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
backlash and 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. He watched until it was
over. Then he went over to Son Gokuu. "Excuse me, Son Gokuu can you tell me
where I am?" Gokuu was surprised to see someone still standing and that the
person knew his name. "What can I do for you, umm..."

	"I'm Soatomoe Ranma." supplied Ranma. Gokuu looked over Ranma, while doing so
noticed the tail "Ranma, where did you come from? I thought Vejitta and I
where the only Saiya-jin left a live, other than our sons." At this Ranma was
startled <So thats what the Monkey King was.> "I'm not a Saiya-jin, well at
least I wasn't born one." Gokuu is confussed. At seeing the expression on
Gokuu's face Ranma did a quick run down of his life and explained the theory
of how he recieved the tail.
