Prologue: Where The Hell Am I Now??!
Nerima, it is a place where the strange and unusual occurs on a daily basis. It is a place of spells, death-defying battles, mystical items and magic curses. It is also a place where a pigtailed young man is proceeding to exit from at a rather awesome speed, rocketing through the air towards far and distant lands. Ironically this boy is suffering more from the serious stomach cramps he is experiencing than from the blow that knocked him skywards. This boy is the fabled Ranma Saotome.
"Stupid tomboy didn't have to hit me so hard" grumbled Ranma as he flew, clutching his stomach (Akane's food what else?), "she's gotta learn that 'I've had enough thanks' ain't a perverted excuse o' mine to escape ta Shampoo's or Ucchans".
Looking down he was shocked to see the ocean below him and unfortunately, so entranced was he by the way the light reflected off the surface of the water, he failed to note he was fast approaching a small island at near terminal speeds.
It was at this point that Fate played her hand…
In the center of the forgotten isle was a temple. A temple never before touched by man. In the distant past godlike beings of immense power known as the Kais created artifacts potentially useful in assisting them fulfill their duties, i.e. making sure that the Multi-verse didn't do anything stupid like collapse in on itself or spontaneously combust. In order to make sure that they wouldn't have to waste precious energy when hopping from one dimension to another they created a system of inter-dimensional rift gates. It did after all get a bit annoying having to wait for your alternate reality's counterpart to rest for a few hours before you could even begin to start a conversation about the coming of the ultimate evil, unsatisfactory young apprentices and favorite restaurants. In the temple one of these gates still existed and was at that moment running a routine maintenance check, it would only be open for ten seconds while the system made sure all was in order. Those ten seconds were enough for Ranma to pass from this reality to the next. The instant after the light engulfed Ranma the gate snapped shut.
In the Nekohanten the sound of shattering glass rang throughout as the Amazon Matriarch felt her finest student's ki vanish off the face of the Earth. Outside the gates of the local chiropractor the panty-thieving Grandmaster of Anything-Goes fell to the ground, stunned by his heir's disappearance (only to be trampled by a hoard of angry women). Even the Umisenken wasn't this perfect, there was no denying it…
Ranma was dead!

"WHOOOOAAAAAHHHH"
Ranma fell through the tunnel of swirling color, stomach lurching and arms flailing, wondering what the hell was going on, he'd seen a few weird things in his time but this topped them all
well at least I won't have ta eat Akane's cooking until I can find my way back he thought. This caused his mood to lighten considerably. The feelings of jubilation were short lived.
His shoulders slumped again as he imagined his return from wherever the hell he was going and the welcoming committee he was bound to receive. Ranma cradled his head in his hands (not an easy feat when traveling at speeds surpassing that of light)
"I can jus' see it now", he groaned
(The Stupid Panda)
You cowardly boy, how dare you leave this dimension without your true fiancée.
(The Weeping Wonder)
Oh what and ungrateful son you have Saotome. No matter we shall hold the wedding tonight and the Tendo-Saotome schools of Anything-Goes will finally be joined. Happy day….
(Uncute Tomboy)
Ranma no Baka, I'll bet you took so long coming back because you made yourself a few fiancées while you were over there, you…you…you hentai, take this BONK
(Ice Queen)
You owe me big for your disappearance Saotome, hmmm…I guess a little photo shoot is in order
(Amazon Bimbo)
Stupid Male should not leave Amazon wife
(Duck-boy)
Die Saotome
(P-chan)
Ranma Saotome prepare to die
Die…die…die
Ranma held his head in his hands, a corona of sickly green ki surrounding him. Oh yes he couldn't wait to be home
It was then that reality struck him….literally.
(---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----)
Ranma slowly opened his eyes to reveal before them an endless expanse of night sky, stars glimmering and twinkling merrily, but not one of the constellations could he recognize. His calm reverie was shattered by the sound of a voice, harsh and grating, addressing him
"Ahh, finally awake I see"
Ranma slowly turned to see two figures staring at him, hunched over a campfire, the shadows of the cloaks they wore obscuring their faces. One, the one who had spoken Ranma guessed, was a man of huge stature. His broad shoulders belied a strong muscular frame and as he rose from his seated position to make his way towards his guest he moved in the manner of one well versed in the martial arts. His companion, who also rose in order to follow his friend, could not be over 4 feet tall but he too appeared to be practically gliding across the ground.
As the tall man reached him and seated himself beside Ranma, the pig-tailed martial artist let out a hoarse cry of alarm. His savior could not be human…. He had three eyes.
