There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever

***

It is the year 2025, fifteen years after the global disaster dubbed the "Second Impact" which the consequences resulted in wiping out two thirds of the world's population from the face of the Earth, turning the southern pole's water red and submerging most the world underwater. No one really knew what actually caused the second impact but it was rumoured that a certain ice expedition encountered a "Angel" a being of awesome power is said to be responsible. Since then Mankind have recovered and rebuilt the world only to find they are up against something far worse than anyone imagined that could potentially annihilate the race of mankind - The return of Angels.

Somewhere deep inside NERV headquarter, base of operations for the only and last line of defence against these divine beings know as the Angels, we can see someone held in the one of the many interrogation/holding cells that NERV possesses. The person inside the cell was carefully being monitored and watched from many security cameras dotted all around this massive underground complex. The secretive and sinister commander of NERV, Gendo Ikari had ordered this intruder to be monitored and retained here until further notice.

Gendo was cold, calculating and sinister man where he has a seeming lack of desire for human contact which everyone that works under him will know that. He will use and manipulate people in order to achieve his personal goals, no one really knows what they are exactly but some say it has something to do with his deceased wife Yui Ikari and the enemies against humanity, the Angels. However despite what others had said about him, Gendo has considerable success and achievement as the commander of NERV. The one thing that Gendo hates the most above all else is a mystery and the person that was held in the holding cell was indeed a mystery that needed to be solved immediately.

So far personal records about this person have so far turned up with nothing but what makes this person so special was the way he turned up. He had somehow managed to get himself past all the heavy security and checks that NERV has without the Magi super computer picking it up until it was too late. Gendo Ikari was frustrated and angry at this intruder for some reason but considering his personality didn't show it to anyone, the only indication that he was angry is the slight narrowing of his eyes and tightening of his knuckles. The employer of NERV has first thought that he was some kind of Angel in disguise but all test and scans done on him indicated the this intruder was human rather than the divine enemies that have been fighting.

From the employee witness accounts, a sudden swirling vortex suddenly appeared in the heart of NERV headquarter without the early warning of the Magi computer. As soon as the vortex appeared all sensors and alarms went berserk as security was somehow was breached. NERV security forces were immediately flooded the area, rifle and heavy armaments were directed by the captain of NERV and head of operation Misato Katsuragi said not to fire unless ordered to. Moments later the vortex started to close and everyone started to breathe a sign of relief until something came out of the vortex at the very last moment before it completely close up. Silence filled the massive control area as nervous employee and itchy trigger finger armed security guards watched a young teenage boy with a pigtail. Dressed in a torn and battered black martial arts uniform, he slowly got up from where he had landed and took note of his surrounding before scratched the base of his pigtail with the words, "Emm...sorry about all this."

This really didn't impress Gendo all and immediately ordered the intruder to be thrown in one of the holding cell with the express instructions to shoot him if he does anything out of the ordinary or tries to escape. All attempts to find out who he was turned out to be fruitless search and the commander of NERV grew impatient of the lack of progress but the one thing he was renowned for was his patience that things will soon fall into place eventually. Also he had other matters to concern himself that required his attention that was the condition of one of EVA pilots who was seriously injured during routine synchronising with her EVA unit - 00, four days ago since the appearance of this intruder. He wasn't really concern with her well being but more to do with his future plans of human evolution, which she played a key part.

Opposite the holding cell that the intruder was being held was a special room where there was two female NERV employee were talking to the dark shaded man, partially hidden in the shadow and dim light. His fingertips press together in triangle resting position as he silently listened to what they had to say.



"What do we know about this intruder, Misato?" Gendo inquired in low voice, filled with authority and coldness that could make anyone shudder violently.

Misato, head of operation glanced over to one way mirror window before speaking to the commander. "According to our NERV and global databases, this Ranma Saotome does not exist which means that either someone has erased his profile from the central databanks or he has a more sinister motive to why he is here."

"Hmm, You suggesting that he could be possibility be a spy for SEELE?" Gendo suggested.

"I seriously doubt that," Ritsuko said, Head researcher for NERV.

"Explain, Ritsuko?" Gendo said.

Ritsuko flicked thought her file that she carried under her arm, to her notes she carried out on the boy. "When I examined him a few hours ago, I started to talk to him and found out that he has absolutely no clue on what I was talking about NERV, SEELE or even the war we are fighting, it's like he been asleep since the second impact. To confirm if he is telling the truth or not, we found he was telling the truth according to the lie detection result that he went through." Ritsuko handed Gendo the document and quickly skim read the paper.

"Hmm...either this Ranma Saotome is a extremely well trained spy who is very efficient in countering our interrogation attempts or just lucky. What else do we know about him?" Gendo asked Ritsuko.

"Physically, he is extremely well trained and a high level of endurance for someone as young as test shows, mentally he is confused and somewhat annoyed about something." Ritsuko informed.

"Explain?" Gendo asked.

"He seems to mention names such as Happosai, Ryoga, Mousse and something about a uncute macho tomboy which I have no idea on what he ranting on about." Ritsuko answered noticing the intruder staring at the window and making funny faces, completely unaware that he being watched. Misato giggled quietly at his antic while Ritsuko wondered if there was more to this Ranma than meets the eye.

"Misato, I want him detained her until I decide on what to do with him later, I want him monitored at all times and be aware that he may be putting up this act to lower our guard." Gendo ordered. Misato quickly stopped giggling and straighten herself up before Gendo.

"Yes, commander." Misato said.

"I want a full check on these names he mention, contact me if anything unusual happens," Gendo said as he slowly rose from his seat and silently left the room, leaving Misato and Ritsuko in the observation room.



Misato decided to ask Ritsuko about the condition on the EVA pilot as they only have Gendo's son Shinji Ikari to pilot their only weapons capable of tackling the Angels as conventional weapons turns out to useless. They were expecting another pilot to come but that will be a few more months ahead to aid them in the war against the Angels.



"So Ritsuko, what is the condition of Rei Ayanami?" Misato asked.

Ritsuko was busy analysing the information that she had collected from this Ranma Saotome.

"Her vital signs have stable now but she is still unconscious. She sustained injuries on her body and with time they will heal. She was very lucky to survive the accident with EVA - 00. You don't suppose you know what caused the EVA unit 00 to go out of control?" Ritsuko replied without looking up, as she was busy reading the material to find any new evidences or clues on his background.

Misato sighed and watched carefully at Ranma moving about the cell obliviously bored out of him mind, "We are still investigating, haven't found the cause of the malfunction yet? Isn't it strange that at the time the EVA unit went out of control, few days later this boy appears from nowhere?"

"Yes, it is a coincidence but I won't jump to conclusion based on the current information until I gather hard evidence and information about our mystery guest. This is purely speculation and I don't think these two evidences are linked despite what others may think. I am a scientist and my chief principles are that for everything has a scientific answer.

Misato was about to say something else when someone called her through her radio that she was needed somewhere else in NERV.

"I have to go now, Ritsuko." Misato said, "Tell me if you find something new about this Ranma Saotome," and with that she left the room, leaving Ritsuko to analysis test results while at the same time noticing him leaning against the cell wall, in deep thought.

"What are you up to?" Ritsuko whispered, seeing him turning his back blocking her view.



Meanwhile in the holding cell

A certain pigtailed martial art teenage was leaning against the white walls of his holding cell. Judging from his facial expression on his face and his body stance, we can tell that he was really annoyed and borderline of getting really angry, as so far his already upside down and chaotic day has somehow turned for the worse.

Simply, Ranma Saotome wasn't having a very good day.

"When I get my hands on that stupid pervert, I'm going to give him a beating of a lifetime when I get out of here. Why can't I have a normal life like anyone else? I bet a Kami hates me or something." Ranma grumbled to himself as he started to recall how he got here in a place that looked like a military complex.

Despite what people think about him, Ranma was not as stupid as he seems to be regardless to what Genma had taught him. Ranma was well aware of the danger presented to him and although he was very capable and intelligent martial artist, he knew for sure that he could dodge bullets...well not yet anyway.

First he was kicked out the Tendo house again for apparently cheating on his uncute fiancée and of course the information was generously given by a certain manipulative person to Genma and Soun who soon came to their own stupid conclusion. They took it the wrong way and immediately kicked him out without any warning although Ukyo and Shampoo were current out of town, he did wonder if those two possess any intelligence.

Then as clockwork, Ryoga, Mousse and Kuno ranting on how dare he cheat on Akane or Shampoo depending on the person perspective ambushed him. Of course Ranma was skilled enough to take care of them and would've had made it to school on time if it wasn't for Akane Tendo appearing on the scene with her new shiny mallet intending to mallet him into lower earth orbit for picking on Ryoga. Narrowly avoided a nearby water fountain, Happosai appeared from nowhere with some ancient scroll in his hand while in the other a bucket in the other.

Two guesses but you probably need only one to know what the pervert master wanted to do?

Yep, you guessed it; Happosai had found an ancient scroll that according to his translation said that it has the power to bind anyone a state of form or something. Happosai concluded that this was a way for Ranma to be permanent cursed in his girl form so he would have something to grope onto everyday.

'Stupid Pervert!' Ranma thought as stood up and walked around his fairly large holding cell, which has a nice bed in one side while in the other a small bucket in the corner. Ranma guessed that the mirror was no ordinary mirror as he has seen movies that had a one way seeing mirror and decided to be extra careful not to reveal his curse or go to the toilet. Who knows how they would react to his curse especially in place?

"He had to get it mixed up didn't he and I bet he only understood only a mere fraction of the scroll," as he removed a small fragment of paper from his top pocket. Turned his back against the mirror and the security cameras to prevent them from seeing what he was doing.

"This still makes no sense." Ranma said quietly as he stare at the paper from different angles. Quickly pocketing the paper, Ranma sat down on the floor as he started to think carefully the events after that.

*Flashback*

"What do want now, Happosai!" Ranma demanded, getting into a martial arts stance, eyes focused on the bucket of water in his hand.

"It's time that you pay your respects to me. So why don't you act like a proper student and let me change you into your girl form." Happosai said as he threw his bucket of water at him.

"Over my dead body!" Ranma took two quick steps to his left to dodge the incoming bucket.

Suddenly the three village idiots appeared from nowhere and started to attack him while Happosai sat on the sidelines reading quickly at the scroll while he was distracted. Ranma lured the idiots into a spiral pattern to perform the Amazon special technique Hiryü Shöten Ha. Happosai was too distracted to notice the swirling tornado as he was too focused on chanting the spell written on the scroll. The Hiryü Shöten Ha suddenly moved where Happosai was standing and was immediately sucked up along with the three idiots but the thing was that at the same time, Happosai has finished reading the spell. Something unusual happened within the tornado, which Ranma had never seen before.

The tornado suddenly split into two...

The normal Hiryü Shöten Ha vortex went into the opposite direction sending Happosai and the three idiots away from Nerima. While a different dark purple swirling vortex immediately headed towards where Ranma was standing.

The spell used by Happosai wasn't actually a spell to permanently lock him in his cursed form but more accurately a pan dimension vortex spell. This opened a temporary link between two universes, the problem with this spell is it very difficult to pinpoint the destine universe without complex calculations and magical abilities.

"Oh crap!" was the last thing he thought and didn't stand a chance to escape the swirling dimension vortex due to the incredible speed that the vortex moved.

As Ranma passed through the swirling vortex tunnel, he could visions and glimpses of other dimensions while at the same time feeling his body being stretched and pulled in all direction. Ranma clenched his teeth as the pain flowing his body was reaching near critical levels and he thought that unless something happened, he would be torn apart by the unseen forces. Peeking through his eyelids, he could only see multitudes of colours until he saw a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

Seconds later, Ranma Saotome, the icon of chaos, reached the end of the vortex and landed with a loud crash.

"Ouch!" Ranma thought and was grateful for landing on something that broke his fall.

"Now where the hell am I?" Ranma slowly rose from where he had landed.

Suddenly more than a dozen red dots appeared on his chest and head as Ranma slowly looked up to see heavily armed security guards with insignia of NERV across their shoulder. Their weapons levelled and aimed at the intruder that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

In this type of situation, there was only one thing that Ranma could do or say in his position.

"Emm...I'm really sorry about this?" Ranma scratched and tugged on his pigtail with a nervous glance at the people around him.

Gendo was obviously not thrilled while the rest of the NERV employee's just sweatdropped and some even facefault at his honest statement.

*End of Flashback*

Ranma opened his eyes from his meditation and wished he had some sort of bounce ball that he could throw like in that old film that he saw to keep himself from being bored as hell.

'That Gendo Ikari sure wasn't happy at my arrival?' thought Ranma as he remember the expression on his face.

'Hmm...I wonder why he was really pissed off at my arrival? It wasn't my fault that I landed on top of him, I said I was sorry, what more could I have done.' Ranma thought as he got up and decided to find a way out of this cell.

"The door doesn't seem to be that strong, perhaps there is another way to open it?" Ranma carefully checked the three-inch steel reinforced door while making sure that he wasn't trying to escape by the security cameras. Normally a NORMAL person would have no chance of opening the thick steel door unless he had C-4 explosive on him.

But this is Ranma Saotome we are talking about...where the impossible is possible for him.

Ranma then had a sudden idea and took a few steps back away from the door a she started to gather his confidence Ki in preparation.

Meanwhile...

Ritsuko watched in amazement and shook at the sudden change in him and immediately started to analysis the information producing from the computer while at the same time recording all of this for future references.

Ranma was glowing with pale blue light as he cupped both of his hands together.

Somewhere in NERV headquarter...

"Commander Ikari, we're picking up and registering a unusual strong energy reading somewhere in NERV," Misato furiously typed on the computer while ordering the staff to find the source of the large build up of energy.

"Where and is it an Angel threat?" demanded Ikari.

"Just checking, we have the result shown on the screen." Misato replied.

Misato gave startled gasp, "Commander, it's coming from the holding cell where are intruder is being held!" informed Misato.

"Show me a visual of holding cell 2-H of Ranma Saotome," demanded Ikari as he turned his attention to one of monitors.

What Ikari and the rest of the staff saw was Ranma Saotome standing there, his hand cupped together. That wasn't the thing that surprises them, it was the fact that he was glowing!

'This is not good," Gendo said, "All stations on full alert now!"

'What the hell is going on!' thought Misato wondering if this was indeed an Angel in disguise.

Back in holding cell 2-H

"Moko Takabisha Double!" exclaimed Ranma Saotome as fired off two Ki charged blue balls.

TBC...

Author Special Note:

Listening to Rob D 'Clubbed to Death' and Europe 'Final Countdown' helps me write this story.

Ranma Saotome - 17yrs

Shinji Ikari - 14yrs

Rei Ayanami - 14yrs

This borrowed for a idea that I have nicely asked from Nighthawk as I am a fan of Rei and Ranma matchup couples and after watching the DVD movie - Death and Rebirth + The End of Evangelion. This was enough for me to start writing up this story about this crossover story about Ranma and Neon Genesis Evangelion only. Also I was kinda inspired by reading some stories on the net like Past/Future, Death Becomes Her and a Couple of Angels.

This is a Revised Version of this story as I was feeling a little bored on what to do. If you haven't guess by now the story or the idea where it is taken from, this is a Ranma/Rei matchup and I'm trying not to end the story like in the Anime - The End of the Evangelion.
