Prologue
By MTG2192
Ranma Saotome, avatar of Chaos for the Neriman area, was enjoying what to most people would have been called a normal day.
This is how Ranma knew something was going on. Ranma hadn't had a normal day for as long as he could remember: Something always seemed to go wrong.
What's more, he hadn't been malletted that day.
The world was coming to an end.
Or so Ranma thought.
In fact, what was about to happen would probably cause Ranma to leave this Universe. At this time, Ranma knew nothing about hypothetical physics and mathematics, nor did he know a thing about transdimensional theory.
He was about to get educated.
As I was saying, it was a normal day in Nerima. The contradictions run wild, I know.
Akane had finally gotten a clue as to how to treat her fiancé. Ranma, to his delight, hadn't been malletted since last Sunday (and today was Saturday). He had also remembered to keep his foot out of his mouth.
Could the two be related?
Nah.
No, today was not easily described, and, though Ranma enjoyed it, it was quite boring.
Happosai was coming.
He had finally found a way to get rid of Ranma, his most unfaithful and rebellious student. He had found the transdimensional lock (hey, with magic mirrors, cursed training grounds, haunted bells, cursed dolls, what is wrong with a magical lock?). What's more, he also had the key, of which there were only two in the multiverse.
Now one may ask what is so important about a lock.
This lock is important because it is unique throughout the multiverse, and it locks you out of your home universe. Happosai was going to send Ranma to a different Universe, and because the key was on the other side of the multiverse, Ranma would have to travel all over existence to find it. Happosai thought that Ranma would in fact, die before he could reach the key.
Happosai made one fatal flaw, however. He forgot to check Ranma's heritage. Ranma was special because he was chosen by Chaos and Mischief to be an avatar. Not only that, but an immortal avatar. Ranma's mother was a full-blooded Juraian, descended from Yosho, yet altered to be full blooded by Washu.
Also, Genma was never Ranma's father.
Ranma's father, in fact, was a mischievous Half Demon/Half God who was, to Asgard, a free agent whose services were offered to the highest bidder, be it Asgard, Niflheim, or Midgard.
Also, his father, whose name was Chaos (which is a neutral force, neither good nor evil) had a thing for red-headed Juraians. Thus Ranma was born.
AN: The multiverse shares a single Asgard and a single Niflheim. Being divine and demonic entities, their influence spreads across the planes.
Ranma was also genetically engineered by Washu (the greatest scientist in not only the universe, but also the multiverse [even better than her counterparts) to be able to absorb the DNA and characteristics of other species at will (could this be the way he masters the Nekoken?)
Happosai, had noticed Ranma on the roof, pointed the lock at him, and "poof," Ranma and the lock were gone.
AN: Yes, I know this is quite short, but it is merely the prologue. I promise that this will not be the length of the chapters.
Yes, I know, it is quite like Path of Chaos, and that is where I got the idea of multiverse travel. Don't worry, though it will definitely be different from Path of Chaos. Different experiences, different people, etc. I think, actually, that my first universe will not be an anime at all, but rather "a long time ago, in a galaxy far away…"
