"wow... this world looks... pretty normal." Kanon said. it was true. for an infected world, they had expected to be destroyed, with corpses in every corner, and without life.

instead, the place they reached looked like a normal neighbourhood.

"don´t low your guard." Sorio said, holding his Drill Mirror in his hand. "we don´t know what is happening in this world, so we must be careful."

"why? it looks like a normal world..." Sorio said. as in cue, an arrow almost impacted him, but Marcus reacted on time, and caught it. suddenly in the shadows, red eyes appeared. the Mirai Warriors made the only safe thing:

run.

"SORIO! DIDN´T YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM MARCUS' WORLD?!" Fami shouted, as she transformed into Mirai mode, and created a protection wall, to avoid the arrows and stones that were thrown to them.

"I DON´T UNDERSTAND WHY THE MULTIVERSE WANTS ME TO BE WRONG!" the Future Warrior said.

"IT´S NOT THE TIME FOR FIGHTING!" Doremi shouted. "We must escape from that mob!" in fact, the creatures that were attacking them, weren´t Creatys, but normal, very angry people.

"yes, but how?!" Miku said, as she scanned the road, to see if they would find an escape route. however, there was some kind of interference, so she couldn´t make it.

"i don´t know! there should be a place where-" Doremi´s thoughts were stopped by the sighting of a hand, with claws and wires, which made signs for them to follow it. "a... hand?"

"a what?" Marcus asked. then he and the others looked at the hand. "what´s that?"

"maybe a Dualmen. you know, the kind of person with two kinds of Virus in his body?" Miku remembered her friends. "anyway, he or she would be helping us to hide."

"or he or she could be sending us to a trap." Sorio muttered.

"well, i´ll take that risk!" Doremi exclaimed, and ran towards the hand, which started leading her(and soon, the other warriors) to an abandoned house. the mob ran in front of it, never stopping to see if there was someone in that home.

"well, that takes care of those guys." Marcus said. then, he turned, and canalized a bit of his Digisoul on his body."and now, let´s see who saved us..." the Mirai Warrior increased his Digisoul, making it illuminate the place. in front of the Warriors there stood a girl, with red and white hair. apart from her claw and one of her feet, both Werewolf-like, the digital aspects were predominants in her body. her blue and white eyes looked at the Warriors.

"uhh... hello. my name is Doremi, and these are my friends, Marcus, Fami, Sorio, and Miku." Doremi presented the group. "and you are?"

"my... my name is Ranko."

after they presented as the Mirai Warriors(term that Kanon still refused to accept), Marcus asked "why were those people chasing us?".

"they are scared of the Virus ones." Ranko said.

"the Virus ones?" Kanon asked.

"the Virus ones, that´s the name of the people who are infected with... this." Ranko said, showing her claw-digital arm.

"the Dark Virus." Miku said. when Ranko looked at her, she explained. "is the original name of the Virus you have."

"and we came to help all the people to understand the infected, and to live in peace!" Fami exclaimed. Ranko was startled by the mood of the girl, but managed to smile.

"I see... you are just like him..." she said.

"him?" Miku asked.

"yes... my brother, Ranma. he has the same thinking that your friend has."

"and, can we meet him?" Marcus said. "he sounds like a good boy."

Ranko laughed a little. she took a little of hot water, and she said:

"don´t worry, you´ll meet him now."

then, she poured the water in her body. then, it turned into HIS body. his werewolf parts, more specifically his arm and his foot, turned into digital extremities while the rest of his body turned more furrish, and his hair turned black.

the only thing the Warriors could say was "wha..." as the new boy stretched and said "oh boy, is good to be back. you took some time, Ranko."

'well, excuse me! i was escaping from some Beastmen, when i heard them running and escaping from a human mob!' Ranko´s voice was heard from his digital arm. that shocked the Mirai Wariors more.

"huh?" the boy turned to see the traveling warriors. "hello, my name is Ranma."

"but... you... and he..." Kanon started to say, but he was in a loss of words. Sorio and Fami had the same expression. Doremi was stoned, Miku was surprised, and Marcus...

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

"i... maybe i have to explain it..." Ranma said. then he and Ranko started explaining the two personalities and the bodies.


Ranma was a normal boy... ok, not a "normal" boy, but an experimented martial artist, especialised in the "Anything Goes" art. one day, because of a training, he fell into a cursed pond, which turned him into Ranko(who didn´t had a personality in that time), and would return him with hot water. he had... a lot of weird adventures, and they somehow ended when he met her mother.

or he thought so.

after a few months, two of her friends-and fiancees- were infected with some kind of virus. while the first was transformed into a Werewolf-like person, the body of the other recieved conections in her body, and their whole internal organs turned mechanic. after that, they turned evil, and transformed other people, turning them into puppets to their desires.

including Ranma, who was one of the first ones.

however, due to the nature of his curse, he allowed not only to mantain his control over his body, but also to recieve the other virus, and allowing Ranko to have a mind of her own.


"and since then, we have been escaping from the three groups, trying to stay alive." Ranma finished his story.

"and... you are alone?" Miku asked.

'oh, no. other cursed people were inmune to the virus and live with us.' Ranko explained. 'however, only Ranma and me are capable to go out and... borrow some food of the three groups.'

"you mean... like stealing?" Kanon said. Ranma and Ranko were silent.

then Ranma said "yes. but we don´t have another option! if you have a curse of the Virus, you aren´t able to live a normal life!"

'and our life was hard BEFORE the Virus. now... is harder.' Ranko said.

"wow... i can relate." Sorio said. "i won´t talk about my world, but... i had the same problem. i wasn´t allowed to live a normal life, and... then Dralack attacked." Kanon and Fami were startled by that revelation, because he never used to talk about his origin world.

"Sorio..." Fami said.

"anyway." Sorio said, regaining his calm. "do you think you can lead us to your actual home? it would be nice to eat something that´s not Steak."

"and what is wrong with Steak?!" Fami and Doremi declared. then they saw each other and blushed.

"what do you think, Ranko? would they be well recieved by the others?"

'well, i don´t know about Shampoo, but the others would like to see people who don´t freak out for our condition.' Ranko said. 'but... i think my velocity factor would be better for that.'

"i get it, i get it." Ranma said, as he poured some cold water in his head, turning into Ranko. 'just... don´t forget to turn into me. i want to eat. from my own mouth.' he said, once his body turned into Ranko's.

"well, you can try to remember me about it!" Ranko said. then she sighed, and said "well, follow me." then, she stood up, and jumped to the street from a nearby window. the rest of the Mirai Warriors then followed him/her...

and landed in front of the mob.

"and now?" Sorio asked the two-in-one martial artist.

"well, if i had to say..." Ranko said, the mob starting to run towards them. "RUN!"

then they ran. Doremi thought that, if it was a chspter of a story, then a chapter should end like this.


(in a starry night, we pan to the Mirai warriors' house.)
