This is part two, folks. If you didn't read part one along with my
apology, you'll get confused.
Hours later, Shin sat whittling a piece of wood.
"Hey, listen. I think it's over." Ranko said.
"You're right." Shin replied.
Shin walked outside. Ranko and the Tendos heard scuffling, running
feet, and finally two yelps. Shin walked back in, carrying Ranma and
Genma. He walked upstairs, opened the door to Nodoka's room and tossed
the two in.
"Auntie, they tried to escape." Shin yelled into the room.
He promptly shut the door, dead-bolted it again and walked downstairs
to the sounds of extreme violence and screams of "So, you thought you'd
take off again, eh? OH NO! YOU'RE STAYING PUT!!!!"
"Don't you think that's cruel?" Akane asked Shin.
"No crueler then leaving your wife behind for ten years without even a
visit home and not telling her when something like a curse has been put
on your only son." Shin replied.
Shin suddenly recalled something and smacked his forehead.
"I should have remembered, d'oh." Shin said.
"Remembered what?" Nabiki asked.
"I keep a detailed diary in my personal laptop in case I do get
amnesia." Shin said, pulling out a laptop.
Everyone facefaulted.
Two hours later, the violence stopped. Shin walked outside. After
some scuffling, sounds of feet running and two yelps, Shin walked back
in.
"I thought you'd bring Ranma and Genma back in." Akane said.
"Why? I just put in a juiced up version of that invisible fence that
keeps dogs in your yard in and gave Ranma and Genma the invincible
juiced up collars. If they try to leave, a four gigawatt (per second)
shock is waiting for them." Shin said, smiling deviously.
Ranma and Genma screamed.
"When are you going to take them off?" Ranko asked.
"Genma, maybe never. Ranma, only for school or until he realizes that
he can't hide from me or his mother." Shin replied.
Ranma and Genma screamed again.
Shin whistled the theme from 'Gilligan's Island'.
Ranma and Genma screamed yet again.
============================================================
-"That's it! No more using my butt as target practice!!"- Sailor Moon,
a more memorable scene.
============================================================
Everyone thanked the gods that it was Sunday. After a few hour
explaination to Nodoka, Ranma was forgiven for not telling his mother.
Genma, on the other hand......
Well, let's just say that he survived the encounter.... barely.
It was a longer explaination for Nodoka to understand Ranko and Shin.
They started at 10:00 am. It is currently 1:00 pm. The explaination
for Ranma started at 7:00 pm and lasted until 8:00 pm, however the
violence following the explaination lasted until 3:00 am.
"I can't believe it." Nodoka said, amazed.
"It's true." Shin said.
"You didn't take a breath the entire time." Nodoka replied.
Shin facefaulted.
"And I can't believe that you're from another dimension." Nodoka added.
Shin sighed.
"So, you're my son, but not MY son." Nodoka said.
"Yeah." Shin replied.
"And you're my daughter, but not MY daughter." Nodoka said.
"Yeah." Ranko replied.
"Have you found out what to do to get back to your dimension?" Soun
asked.
"I'm pretty sure all we really need is the Nanban mirror. With that,
we could return a few seconds after we left." Shin said.
"It's that simple?" Ranma asked.
"Not really. I searched master Happosai's room earlier this morning
and I couldn't find it. I believe he may be carrying it." Shin said.
"Aw, man. There's no way we can get it from that old goat. Besides,
where are we going to find him?" Ranma asked.
Shin was suddenly covered in water.
"Ah, Ranma!" Happosai yelled, leaping at Shin-chan.
With a swift gesture, Shin-chan sent Happosai into orbit.
"That was a smooth move." Ranma said, sarcastically.
"It was." Shin-chan said, holding up the Nanban mirror.
"Hello, future son-in-law." Cologne said, walking into the room
followed by the scientist from earlier.
"What do you want?" Ranma asked.
"That's them, alright." the scientist said.
"This is Dr. Benjamin Kilok." Cologne said, gesturing to the scientist
who was no older than twenty (and handsome to boot).
"I must apologize as this is all my fault. I am responsible for
bringing you two here. I started an experiment to aid the environment
and wound up accidently taking you from your homes. I am terribly sorry
and I ask for your forgiveness." Benjamin replied.
"How could your experiment aid the environment?" Ranko asked.
"My thoery is that by going through time, I could take a plant, mineral
or animal, copy it, put one back and bring the other one here and if
necessary, continue to copy the object or animal. By doing this, we
could repopulate endangered species that does not have the ability to
create different enough offspring.
One example is the cheetah. The DNA patterns of one cheetah is similar
to all other cheetahs because they were struck by plaques, hunters, etc.
which forced inbreeding and thus reducing the possibilty of producing
offspring with different enough DNA. By taking a cheetah from before
that time, I had hoped to break the inbred chain and thus save the
species from having a single DNA pattern.
This thoery could work to help accurately learn of history, test
thoeries on extinct species and possible lead to advancements in
technology that were not thought possible.
However, my equipment did not go through time, like I had intended, it
instead went through dimensions and though this too is an advancement in
technology, it was not intended as such and it will take years before I
learn what is wrong." Benjamin said, overly explaining the situation
entirely too much.
"I left my Lucky Charms Special-Scientist-Babble decoder ring in my
home dimension, so what did he say?" Ranko asked.
"Basically, he made two of both of us and sent them home, while we are
stuck here." Shin replied.
"We're stuck here for all time?" Ranko asked.
"No. It's just that we're already home, so we don't need to go
back.....unless we wanted to." Shin replied.
Shin and Ranko looked at each other and walked outside to the dojo.
"Should we?" Shin asked.
"I.....don't know. I mean......you know." Ranko said.
"It is our home." Shin replied.
"But technically we're already home...so....why?" Ranko asked.
"It is OUR home." Shin replied.
"But it's theirs too." Ranko said.
"It's OUR HOME." Shin replied.
"Are you eager to go back to that world, when you have a family here?"
Ranko asked.
"I.....don't know anymore." Shin replied.
Shin sighed.
"I wanted to go home AND be here to help you...but..... I'm so
confused! I had nearly perfect bliss back home...and now...now
everything's messed up. I'm a stranger to people who once knew me so
well, I could ask for their help at any time and get it...and
now...nothing. Absolutely nothing. I know who they are and I know who
you are, but they don't know me. You don't know me." Shin said.
Ranko put her hand on his shoulder.
"I do know that you're my brother and that means the world to me.
Besides, it's a new beginning. A new challenge. Another time around."
Ranko said.
Shin smiled and hugged his sister.
"Thanks." Shin said.
"Hey, that's what family does." Ranko replied.
"Yeah, that's what family does." Ranma said.
Shin and Ranko turned to him.
"That doesn't mean I'm forgiving you for putting this stupid collar on
me or telling my mom about my curse, but EVENTUALLY, I will." Ranma
said.
"Oh, come on, Ranma. You know you're happier now, your mom's happier
now and your dad....well, he's still alive." Shin said.
"True." Ranma replied.
"RANMA!!! PREPARE TO DIE!!!!" Ryoga yelled, attacking Ranma.
"I don't think so, pig-boy." Ranma replied.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! Ranma darling!" Kodachi called.
All three Saotome siblings shivered.
"You think that's bad, try hearing it from Ryoga." Ranko commented.
All three Saotome siblings shivered again at the thought.
"At least you two don't have the theme from 'Annie' stuck in your
heads." Shin said.
All three Saotome siblings shivered again at the thought.
Meanwhile, on the moon, Lord Zedd yelled in fury.
"When I conquer Earth, the very first thing I'll do is destroy every
copy of 'Annie'." Zedd said.
"Why is that, Lord Zedd?" Goldar asked.
"If you'd ever watched the movie, you'd understand." Zedd replied.
Meanwhile, in the Negaverse, Queen Beryl yelled in fury.
"When I conquer Earth, the very first thing I'll do is destroy every
copy of 'Annie'. The second thing I'll do is clamp that Kuno girl's
mouth shut." Beryl said.
Kodachi's laughter rang out, causing even the deaf warlords and the
stupid warlords to shiver. Jedeite, even though he was frozen solid
(and he was the stupidiest), shivered as well.
Before Kodachi could glomp onto Ranma, Shin poked her lightly, causing
her to fly all the way back to the Kuno mansion.
"Hey, there's something you don't see everyday." Man #1 said.
"What's that?" Man #2 replied.
"A flying idiot." Man #1 said.
"You haven't been in Nerima long, have you?" Man #2 asked.
"I got here yesterday." Man #1 answered.
"That explains it." Man #2 replied.
"It's a bird!" Man #3 said.
"It's a plane!" Woman #1 said.
"It's just a sadistic, psychopathic gymnast with evil and satanic
tendencies." Man #4 said.
"No, she's over there." Man #3 said, pointing at Azusa Shirotori.
"No, she's a sadistic, psychopathic SKATER with evil and satanic
tendencies." Man #4 replied.
Kodachi sneezed and had the overwhelming urge to do something.
Man #4 yelped as a club struck him in the forehead. (It was an
OVERWHELMING urge.)
"Anyway, Ranma, die!" Ryoga yelled, running Ranma.
Ranko leaped out and tackled Ryoga.
"Oh, come to me, my love!" Ranko cried.
Ryoga was confused.
"Ranko, is Ryoga your chosen one?" Shin asked.
"Yes, brother!" Ranko cried.
"Very well. CALL THE PRIEST, RANKO'S GETTING HITCHED AGAIN!!!" Shin
yelled.
Ryoga, hearing that and feeling Ranko pinch his rearend, promptly
screamed like a woman and ran for the hills.
"JUST KIDDING! RYOGA, I SAID 'JUST KIDDING'. Oh, well. Ryoga never
could tell when I was kidding, even when I had an evil smirk on." Shin
said.
"He's fallen for lamer jokes than that." Ranma commented as he help
Ranko to her feet.
"I lost the man of my dreams." Ranko said.
She began to pretend to cry (VERY poorly, mind you).
"Want to mess with someone's head?" Shin asked.
Ranko stopped faking and said, "Sure! Let's get Shampoo."
"I think we all want to do that." Ranma said.
"I've been wanting to pay her back for a trick she pulled on me." Shin
said, smirking.
The trio began to imitate the diabolical laughter that is the standard
for villians.
"Wait, let's wait until she pulls something." Ranma suggested.
"Even sweeter." Shin said, smiling evilly.
The trio picked up where they left off on the diabolical laughter.
"Wanna catch a movie?" Ranko asked.
"Sure." Shin and Ranma replied.
They continued the diabolical laughter as they left.
Meanwhile, on the moon, Lord Zedd watched the trio.
"Goldar!" Lord Zedd yelled.
"Yes, Lord Zedd?" Goldar asked.
"I want you to go down there and tape those three laughing. I'm a tad
rusty on my laugh and they sound excellent." Lord Zedd told Goldar.
"It shall be done." Goldar replied.
Meanwhile, in the Negaverse, Beryl watched the three.
"I don't like how they're laughing. Malakite!" Beryl yelled.
"Yes, my queen?" Malakite asked.
"I want you to watch those three. They may have stumbled upon
something that may be turned to our favor." Beryl said.
"It shall be done." Malakite replied.
============================================================
-"Alright, who ate the Eggo waffle box and left the Eggo waffles out?"-
A-kun, this morning.
============================================================
Luckily for Goldar, the trio continued their diabolical laughter until
they reached the theater. Goldar left. Malakite watched the three walk
into the theater after buying their tickets. They were still laughing.
Malakite was about to walk in, when the ticket taker stopped him. The
ticket taker was about sixteen and his nametag read "Kevin".
"Listen, Kevin. I don't have time for this." Malakite said.
"Yeah, sure, right. Get a ticket." Kevin said, rolling his eyes.
"Very well, fool! You shall learn of the power of the Negaverse!!"
Malakite yelled, extending his hands to blast Kevin.
Kevin dashed behind him, grabbed the top of Malakite's underwear and
pulled up.
"Wedgie!" Kevin yelled.
Malakite yelped. He tried to blast Kevin, but somehow the wedgie was
making him powerless. Kevin carried Malakite to the box office by the
wedgie and set Malakite down in front of the clerk.
Malakite paid for his ticket with the gold he had on hand and Kevin let
him through. Malakite then tried to enter the same theater that the
trio had, but Kevin stopped him.
"Sorry, you bought a ticket for 'Teacup for Two'. That's over there."
Kevin said pointing to the theater next door.
Malakite was about to protest when Kevin cracked his knuckles and
smiled in a way that said "Just try it". Malakite walked into the
theater that Kevin had pointed to.
The trio stopped laughing when they entered the theater.
"Dang, forgot the goodies." Shin said.
"Get a bucket of popcorn and three sodas. Dr. Pepper or Coke." Ranko
said.
"Same here." Ranma said.
"Look, I'm not getting nine sodas and three buckets of popcorn." Shin
said.
"I didn't mean that..." Ranma began.
"I'm teasing, Ranma." Shin replied.
Malakite, after four failed attempts to get into the same theater as
the trio and seven failed attempts to pull the wedgie out so he could
access his power, decided to watch the movie, but quickly decided it was
more fun to watch the people in the theater as a semi-bald man decked
out a rude man behind him.
A strange boy kept moving around and asking for dates, only to get
punched across the theater. His name was apparently "Bud". A strange
girl kept walking around and talking to random people. Her name was
apparently "Kelly".
"That's it. I'm going to get some more popcorn and complain to the
manager. This movie doesn't have enough hooters in it." the semi-bald
man said.
"Get me a soda, okay, Al?" a redhaired woman near the front said.
"Okay, Peg." Al replied.
A while later, Al yelled "Peg?"
"Al?" Peg asked.
"Peg!" Al replied.
"Al! You're in the wrong theater again!" Peg yelled.
"Wait a minute, Peg. I think I'm seeing hooters. I am seeing hooters,
Peg!" Al yelled.
All the men in the theater, including Malakite, stood up and left to
find that theater.
They could see the ship laying in the Rocky mountains.
"See? I told you I would give you fireworks." the black man on the
screen said.
The screen faded to black.
"Man, Independence Day 4 is an awesome movie!" Ranma said.
"Yeah, but I've heard Will Smith's real voice and I think that whoever
dubbed him sucked." Shin replied.
They left the theater.
Meanwhile, on the moon, Lord Zedd laughed. Then stopped, then laughed
again.
"I must get it down." Lord Zedd said, as he tried to imitate the laugh.
Meanwhile, in the Negaverse, Queen Beryl looked at Malakite.
"You were supposed to keep an eye on them." Queen Beryl said.
"I am sorry, Queen Beryl. They must have trained a bouncer in as their
ticket taker at that theater. He somehow knew a way to nullify my
powers and defeated me. However, I have learned that certain humans can
prove useful." Malakite replied.
"No excuses. Next time I give you an order, I want you to succeed or
else." Beryl snapped.
"Yes, Queen Beryl." Malakite replied.
Malakite appeared in his room and smiled.
"Whoever made that movie was brilliant. Tons of violence and nudity
and absolutely no plot line." Malakite said.
Tears of joy ran down his face.
"I must meet the man who directed it!" Malakite declared.
"I still say we should have prepared for the possibility that they were
going to attack. I mean, I know they might have wanted to talk directly
with the leaders of the world, but come on. The instant we knew they
were going for New York, we should have expected something." Shin said.
Ranko and Ranma nodded in agreement. They stopped in front of the
Ucchan.
"I say we show her. I mean, she has been our oldest friend." Shin
said.
"I agree." Ranma said.
"She was nice." Ranko added.
They walked in and prepared to explain to Ukyo.
============================================================
-"We're telling you, he just sat down when we looked away for a second
and he was gone when we turned around!"- the officers who arrested Waldo
for peeping.
============================================================
Kuno sat and thought.
"How to save all four of my loves from that fiend Saotome?" Kuno
muttered.
Kuno tried to use his brain, but he didn't know it had decomposed due
to lack of use. That might explain a few things.
Kodachi sat and thought.
"How to save my beloved from the wretched Tendo girl?" Kodachi
muttered.
Kodachi tried to use her brain, but due to the fact that she had tried
to poison it when it tried to point out to her that Ranma might not like
her, it refused to help her. That might explain a few things.
Ukyo had shooed out the customers earlier and she would probably be
happy with the decision if she realized how silly her face looked with a
dropped jaw and bugged-out eyes.
"You're kidding." Ukyo said, regaining her composure.
"Nope." Shin said.
"Sorry." Ranma said.
"No kids around here, so we can't be." Ranko said.
Shin, Ranma and Ukyo gave her a strange look.
"An old joke." Ranko said.
The three groaned at the lame pun.
"Anyway, I can't believe it. Three Ranmas." Ukyo said in disbelief.
"Not Ranmas, remember? I'm Shin, that's Ranko and this is Ranma.
There's only one Ranma....for now anyway." Shin told her.
"Oh, right." Ukyo replied.
Ukyo shook her head.
"You guys should watch out. Cologne'll try to get all of you to marry
Shampoo." Ukyo told them.
"Don't worry. With the Nanban, we can arrive at school and get home
without her ever knowing where we are...well, until we pull a prank on
her. Besides, amazons can only marry the men who bested them, any
family is off limits. However, I have no doubt Cologne would give up on
having THREE strong fighters marrying her granddaughter." Shin said.
"Yeah, the old ghoul would probably try something like that." Ranma
added.
"No doubt in my mind." Ranko included.
"Anyway, guys. We'd better get going or we'll miss dinner." Shin said,
standing up.
"Jeez, these explainations take a long time." Ranko commented.
"No kidding." Ranma said.
The next day, we see Ranma and Akane racing across the same bridge they
always do.
"Come on, Ranma, or we're going to be late." Akane said.
"I know." Ranma replied.
Shampoo raced up on her bike.
"Ranma!" Shampoo cried, tackling Ranma to the ground.
Akane was about to say something, when Shin and Ranko-kun appeared.
"Shampoo, why are you grabbing Ranko?" Shin asked.
"Huh?" Shampoo asked, looking at Shin and Ranko-kun.
"That's Ranko. Didn't Cologne tell you about us?" Shin asked.
"Oh, great-grandmother say to 'watch out for identical Ranma imposter'.
What that mean?" Shampoo asked.
"It means you should make sure that you grab Ranma, not his family
members." Ranko-kun replied.
"So who Ranma?" Shampoo asked, letting go of Ranma.
"We're late, so I'm outta here!" Shin said, dashing off.
"Same here!" Ranko-kun said, following.
"I'm gone!" Ranma said, racing behind them.
"I haven't got time for this." Akane said, continuing after them.
Shampoo was left behind, severely confused.
