Two years have passed since Phoenix Mountain. In that time Akane and
Ranma have broken up and by a twist of fate it is Kasumi who found
herself in love with Ranma. It is but a twist of fate, just as easily it
could of been Nabiki if she allowed her heart out sooner. On the
anniversary of the great battle. A new enemy is born from the power of
two old ones. A new darkness hell bent on the destruction Ranma and his
happiness. Happosai, the perverted Grandmaster of the Anything Goes
School and Saffron, god-king of Phoenix Mountain by use of an ancient
artifact join powers and forms into a single new being of darkness and
revenge. Happosai's demonic heritage drove the already unbalanced
Saffron farther into the Darkness. In the battles that followed. The
Wrecking Crew of Nerima was scattered among the planes of existence. The
Kunos are the first to be lost, their power so infinitesimal that this
new being did not even need to activate his Ki Aura, which left the rest
of the crew without advanced warning of the attacks. Ukyo was attacked
one night via fireball as she was throwing out the garbage. The first
warning the rest of the crew had was when Ranma and Kasumi came to visit
her the next day. The fact that restaurant was left unlocked through the
night alerted Ranma to trouble. It caused him to call Konatsu back from
visiting his foster mother. The gender challenged ninja came quickly,
reaching Nerima in ten hours.

Ranma's first action was to put out a call to all his friends and
rivals. Cologne in hopes of gaining the pair as a members of her tribe
answered quickly, bringing with her Shampoo and Mousse, both of whom had
given up their focus on Ranma to focus on new obsessions, Ryouga for
Shampoo and Akane for Mousse. Ranma became even more worried when the
Kunos did not answer his summons. News from Mousse that Kuno had not
attacked him in over seventy two hours was even more distressing. Ranma
sat down with those you came to the dojo. They talked about the missing
members of the Nerima Wrecking Crew. It was Cologne who finally figured
out what was attacking them.

Happisaffron attacked while the Nerimans were at their war council. The
war continued in Ranma's backyard, and for all his skill he could not
save the Tendos: Soun, Nabiki and Akane gone. Ryouga died trying to
protect Shampoo, together they died holding each other. Mousse followed
soon after in a suicide attack against Happisaffron. Only Cologne and
the four Saotomes remain. Gemma, The old Panda, Nodoka, The Honor Blade,
Ranma, The Dragon and his wife Kasumi, who took to her husband's
training like a fish to water. Having had years to see his skill and the
need to learn. The final battle is costly, Ranma alone survives it.
Cologne lays dying at his side as the Demon they fought is banished but
not destroyed. Kasumi is cradled in Ranma's arms, With her last breath,
she admits that she had fallen in love with him just weeks after he
came, her last words being, "I love you, my husband!". Her last thought,
"Forgive me my lord!" Ranma turns his face to the sun and screams
Kasumi's name in a chi voice that shattered the heavens and hells.

Heaven

The Gods have gathered. They watched as their hero gave up his power. He
who had gained immortality gave up his lifeforce. Unwilling to live in a
world where there is no Kasumi to love and be loved by. Without Ranma
this universe and time line had no meaning, the Gods and Demons prepared
to die or fade into a merger. When in the most sacred of holies a portal
opened. A portal to the home of Kami-sama's Mother's universe. The
Universe of the children of Great Grandfather Spirit. From the portal
stepped a man, his hair is blonde and brown, his eyes golden to the
divine sight. Ears more pointed then human spoke of a mix of elven or
fae blood. In his aura glowed the power greater then the Eldar, the
Dragon, or the World Tree. In his aura burned the white fire of the One
who is not named. Who is , Was and Will be. Silverbreeze had come to
Universe 9852-RK-D581-58.

Without taking time to look at the Gods or Demons, Silverbreeze appeared
before the dying Ranma, "Tell me young Master? What is your greatest
wish?" Ranma looked up at the Kami before him and whispered, "Another
chance.. with Kaschan!" Silverbreeze nodded, "There is a chance.. A good
one, You will not remember the pain. But I sense that there is within
the two of you a bond to each other. One that can not be broken. It
should bring you together again. Will you risk change for the chance?"
Ranma mutely nodded. Silverbreeze reached out his hands placing one of
Ranma's forehead and one on the air at Ranma's side. "Eternals ...
Forever"

Time flows backwards...

We came back to the point of Cat Fu Training and time returned to
normal. Except that Kasumi and Ranma are still bound. And it affects
their personalities.
