Galactus ws feeling a bit lonely, unusual for the multi-trillion year 
old being but true nonetheless. So he decided to visit his favorite 
stomping grounds, the only planet where he could visit  people he 
considered friends, namely Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four or if 
they were gone, Jarvis and the Avengers were always good company. Jarvis 
made a delicious tea.

As he approached the planet, his ship automatically scanned it and 
reporting that there had been a huge flash of the type of energy that he 
ate. Almost as much of it as he would find by consuming an inhabited planet.

There was another flash and still another, on the opposite side of the 
planet from where he usually landed. Somewhere in  China, he thought it 
was called.

There was a huge lake filled with that strange energy humans called 
Magic and a couple of small ponds as well. Nearby a mountain exploded. 
 From the amount of energy, he absorbed whoever was generating this 
stuff was making more than he had ever experienced in one location.

 He hadn't sensed this much life energy since his own universe had died 
and in dying had transformed him from Galan, Scientist, space traveler, 
actor and gourmet chef to Galactus, third force in this universe and the 
person who prevented it from collapsing billions of years ago.

There was a scream, it wasn't quite vocal but was carried by the energy 
from inside the mountain to this little pond. Galactus curiously stuck 
his hand into the water. At the same time a golden glow passed from  
inside the mountain to the pool.

Almost instantly, Galactus understood what had happened as he changed 
from being Galactus back to Galan and then into Akane Tendo. The power 
which had formed Galactus was shared, reforming both the newly 
reimbodied Akane and the soul of Galan as they merged into a single 
nearly immortal being. A teenage girl who understood enough about KI and 
Chi to recognize that that was what she needed to survive without having 
eat planets and that her Fiancee could make enough to last her forever. 
As Galactus, she had never seen any race which could generate life 
energy like this, it explained so much about the Earth and it's inhabitants.

As Ranma and the others slowly and somberly came out of the mountain, 
she rushed to her beloved and hugged him. She explained that "the 
Akane-nichuan and the Ki he had fed into her old body had restored her 
to life." She also told him that "she loved him."

She could draw a little  Ki ( well to Ranma, it would be only a little 
Ki. ) from him or his blasts and use that to sustain her . She had 
gotten so tired of killing and now she had someone she loved and who 
loved her. She had heard the scream before but now she understood it and 
echoed the sentiment. She loved Ranma as he loved her. It had been 
disconcerting for her spirit to be drawn from her dead body to the pool. 
Ranma's Ki had enabled her to  blend with poor Galan rather than only 
shape shifting him as  Kiima had.

 Later when he was asleep she would modify his body so he wouldn't age 
and could supply her with Ki forever.  She, Akane Galan Tendo would 
become  Ranma's wife and neither of them would have to be lonely again. 
The universe would never miss Galactus, as she could do his job without 
having to eat planets ever again.

She had gotten so tired of killing and now she had someone she loved and 
who loved her.

"I guess I'm just an old-fashioned sentimentalist at heart.  I refuse
 to accept a no-win scenario.  I hate the thought of a universe without
 justice.  If the maneuverings of dark powers can't be exposed and
 defeated by the pure of heart, then there's no point in anything.  I
 can't believe that."
