For once in his life Ranma Satome was glad that Akane hit him with her precious 'Mallet-Sama' as soon as she did, he wasn't sure if his contact would keep waiting at the approximate place where he would land; the guy has a tendency to get bored easily, like a child with a very short attention span, hopefully the Game boy kept the guy busy. Ranma saw something that was very stupid, a target that was held up by a small red balloon, 'It must be a twisted joke by that person.' That was the first thought that came to his mind as he went through the bull's-eye and landed unceremoniously on the ground making a crater while he was at it.
"Wow a perfect bull's-eye damn, Miss. Tendo's pretty accurate when she's pissed off."
"Shut up and help me out of this goddamn crater."
The mysterious person extended his hand to help the cursed martial artist out of the crater, a few seconds after that it rained promptly turning Ranma-kun into Ranma-chan, the crater wouldn't remain unnoticed for long since there was a festival nearby, and a group of people was about to form around the crater but then everything stopped, Ramna wasn't going to waste a moment as she and her partner in crime went to work quickly as she started to change her clothes into a kimono something that wouldn't be questioned due to the festival being nearby which was pretty convenient, but now wasn't the time to be wondering about how they were do what they need to do without getting themselves exposed.
"Don't worry Ranma-chan I have a solution but, it's going to be a bit risky."
"What do you mean by risky?"
"Your plan to escape might be foiled if you stick around when your clone wakes up."
"What, No I don't want another copy of me running around!"
"Do you want to be free?"
Ranma realized that if she needed to escape successfully she needed a copy to stay in her place while she went to live her life in freedom.
Everything was set with Ranma-chan walking along with the crowd as they gathered around looking at a copy of Ranma bleeding out pretty badly, strangely enough he was still in male form the doctors came in and declared him dead on the scene with a broken neck.
"So do you like the new hair color?"
"What new hair color?"
"Take a good look at your hair when you get to your new apartment by the way, see you next year to see how things are going for you."
With that statement the mysterious man was about to leave when Ranma called out to him with one question; "What do I call you if I need you?"
The man turned to look at Ranma and responded with this, "Call me Realm."
