I hope that the author won't go so far as to cut Ranma

All right, hands up everyone who suddenly had a sureal
vision of this
situation, the visitor from the past being not out to
protec Akane, but
rather Ranma. And Ranma's likely reaction. not to being
protected, but to
the idea he/she is to be the mother to the leader of the resistence.

Would not make for a long term story, but boy, would it
make a great short
story.

What a marvelous concept.  "I aint havin' nobody's BABY!"  "POW!!"

I can't stop laughing.
