Nodoka paced back and fourth. She been like this ever since Ranma and Allura went into surgery , after fighting the Robeast Ukyo. Allura wounds wasn't as bad as Ranma's however She did lose a lot of blood and Nodoka donated for the both of them.

While she was pacing Nodoka decided that she would tell Allura who she really was. Then she would tell Ranma. This had been a long time coming since she would also tell Ranma who his true father was. She talked it over with Coran on Arus, He agreed right away.

Now how was she suppose to tell her Princess?

Voltron ½ Book two:

Chapter nine: Nodoka's Hidden Past.

Arus twenty five years ago.

"Father! What is the meaning of this?" A Young red haired girl of fifteen asked as she stormed the thron room. Her father looked at her like she was crazy. "Prince Alfor, and Coran are going to Terra in Voltron to help fight in the war."

Oh yes, the war, it's been going on for more then ten years now, and it was thanks to King Alfor the first and the Aurian royal council that Prince Alfor the second and his royal guardian Coran would take the robot known as Voltron to planet Terra, to aid them in there fight.

"Yes dear, it's true." Her father said.

"When Do I leave, they need Five people to fly that thing." The young red hair girl said.

Her father sighed. He knew she was able to help fly the Robot and Coran had asked for her to come along.

Haven given much thought he would allow her to go. After all the three of them had been friends since they were children.

Present Day.

Allura blinked as Nodoka told her the story. She laid on her back since she wasn't allowed to sit up yet.

Thanks to her martial arts training and much like Ranma she was a fast healer. Nodoka paced back and forth.

"The Voltron back then wasn't like the Voltron he is now." Nodoka said. She turned to look at Allura. "Voltron was less powerful then he is now, that was before Hagger broken him into five parts." Allura nodded.

"Yes I remember that Father had started to refit Voltron with more fire power." Allura Said. "The Voltron that helped the Alliance was also a little smaller." Allura saw pictures of the Mighty robot in the earlier parts of the war.

"Yes, but it still needed at least five people to fly him."

"Yes, you said that Dad, You and Coran was part of it, who was the other two?" Allura asked. A Look of hate appeared on Nodoka's face.

"Prince Zarkon." Allura eyes grew wide. Zarkon was a member of the alliance? It could have been true, Zarkon was an evil man. "This was before Hagger came into his life, he had a son by a terrain woman who he feel in love with."

"Lotor." Nodoka nodded. "Seeing that his wife home world being attacked hurt him a great deal. See he was banished after he failed to kill his father for high treason and was sent to Arus. The three of us became friends." Nodoka said, the hatred never leaving her face as she said that. "The fifth Pilot was other guard that was high in the ranks. Along with Voltron a squad of Arusian Soldiers would come with us." Nodoka started pacing again.

Allura watched her. It was still hard to take in. Nodoka was from a long, long lost Kingdom of Arus. The Kingdom was destroyed eleven years ago, when Planet Doom first attacked Arus. But to top it off Nodoka was the last Princess of this kingdom, that means that Her and Ranma could….

"During the Mission, I fell in love." Nodoka said as she looked at Allura. "We spent one night together before this huge big mission." Nodoka looked away and Allura was praying that it wasn't with her father.

"It wasn't with Alfor." Allura realized the breath she was holding.

"Even though we, at the time engaged to marry." Allura eyes bugged out. "It was the thing to do. " Nodoka said with a shrug of her shoulders.." Anyways, Coran and I spent one night together." Her eyes had gone soft. " The Next day was the final battle in the war."

Allura had a feeling she knew where this was going. "I was part of the ground troops at the time, and we got held down pretty hard." Allura watched Nodoka's eyes. The hate in her eyes was once again back. Something must have happen.

"Zarkon betrayed us." Nodoka said. "He was working with the Drule Empire the entire time." No surprise there. " He trapped us to a dead end, and had his troops open fire." She punched the wall, and Allura knew where Ranma gets his anger and his strength.

"That rat bastard, He killed all of my men that day and nearly destroyed Voltron. " Nodoka punched the wall again. "Zarkon Shot me, But he didn't kill me." Nodoka turned around. "Instead he Shot and at the time I thought he killed Coran."

Allura held up her hand. "Coran was badly injured his right leg was never the same after the war, the best doctors couldn't have fixed it." Nodoka nodded. "Father was never the same either. Betrayed by his best friend, he never forgave Zarkon."

"Yes, even though your father was a very kind man." Nodoka walked up to Allura. There was color back in her face, but she still looked weak. "I see so much of him in you." she said as she sat down. "He was Arus greatest fighter, and while he was a Prince at the time, a great soldier as well."

Allura looked down. "He was always busy with his work, but he did try to be there for me as much as he could." Tears was starting to fall, Allura tried to hide them but Nodoka removed her hand. " I miss him so much." Nodoka held the young Princess in her arms.

Elsewhere.

Kasumi was finishing up some paper work. She looked up as her husband Keith walked in.

"Hey, how you feeling?" he asked as he sat in the chair in front of her desk. Kasumi put the papers down, and looked at him.

"Okay, I guess." She said. Keith didn't believed it for one minute. He remember has she was when Ranma was badly injured several times before. "Ranma is going to need a new arm, his old one was smashed up pretty badly. Pidge said he could have a new one made soon. Said something about testing a new metal called Adamantium or something like that."

Keith nodded. He listened as Kasumi talked about Ranma injuries. "He lost a lot of blood but will pull though, we have nano machines in his to help the recovery." Keith looked at his wife. "he hasn't woken up yet."

Keith was at her side before anyone could blink. He needed to be by her side right and he would be damned if he wasn't.

No one saw that Ukyo was the mole in their team. No one saw that fact that Kasumi a none combatant would be the one to kill an old friend of her "brother". She must fell awful at the moment. Sometimes he wandered why Kasumi signed up for the Alliance, but never asked.

He wasn't about to start.

Unknown hanger bay.

Ryouga and Hunk was working on the lions, Pidge was there too, but was working on a new arm for Ranma.

The Metal was melted and ready for molding, but the hard part was the wiring. He had to fine a way to make sue that the casing would stay in place. And that was hard. Adamantium once cooled down was basically indestructible.

It was one of the reasons why Pidge wanted to replace Voltron's outer shell, but first he had to make sure that it would work. This was the reason why Pidge was working on building Ranma's new arm. Ranma was once again a test subject.

Pidge hope that Ranma would never find out.

Planet Doom

The Witch known as Haggar stepped off her space coffin and made her way to the thorn room. When she got there she bowed before King Zarkon. The old king looked tried as he watched the what used to be an old woman.

"Speak." He ordered.

"I bring you both good news and bad news Sire." Haggar said. "The good news is that Princess Fara is training our troops for victory." the aged king looked pleased. "The bad news however is that our young spy was found out." Zarkon through a cup at a near by soldier.

"How did it happen?" The king asked.

"Her contact."

Zarkon did not looked pleased with this. Ukyo was their only lead into destroying the alliance from the inside. He could pull the attack back and finally be rid of Arus by a full scale attack, but where was the fun in that?

Then there was something that Hagger said that caught Zarkon attention. She said that Fara was training the troops, but how?

"How is Fara training the troops?" The aged king asked. Haggar smiled and started to tell him about Fara Idea from a Time room where for each day that past a year would pass in the room. "I think it would be a great Idea Sire." Haggar said as if she was reading his mind.

"Just think what our Soldiers can do with three hundred and fifty-two years worth of training." Zarkon liked that idea, of course they would need time outside the room as well, But the different in training alone would be well wroth it.

Why with soldiers being well train and over three hundred years old, Zarkon could rule the universe. But first he had to take over Terra and destroy the alliance. So what if he had to wait a full year. "I will be sending a call back to Fara." Zarkon said. "I'll have her train in this time room of ours here with some more of our troops. I'm going to hold back all attack on Terra until my warriors are ready." Zarkon said with a smile.

Now Zarkon did not regret ever having a clone of Lt. commander Ranma Saotome made. It was the best choice he made in years. With her help he can take over the Universe.

Haggar smiled the plan was set and soon the universe would be under Planet Doom's rule. She can finally start working on her ultimate weapon, a weapon that will finally destroy Voltron. She went back to her lab so that she can start on the new spell to make other Time room, Maybe something with more kick to it on the inside.

Earth

Our week later.

Ranma had awaken from his coma not that long ago. Right now he was in the OR having his new arm getting fitted . Allura was pacing back and she was hoping for some good news. Last week was hell no sooner that Allura went into the room that some klutzy Nurse named Usagi accidentally dropped a pitcher

Of water on him.

Ranma screamed when the changed happen causing the young red head to scream out in pain, something that had never happen before. After changing Ranma back and staying to make sure the nurse doesn't come back Ranma had returned to the land of the living.

Pidge told Ranma that he made him a new arm that the sixteen year old hoped would work even more better then the last. So after a week of waiting Ranma had once again in OR for his arm. Allura paced even more she nerves.

Waiting along with the blond princess was young Kimiko. Ranma god daughter. Allura smiled as the seven year old started pacing with Allura. Over the last few months on Arus Allura got to no the child and some of the things about Ranma that she never learned before.

Reports have come in that a fleet from Doom was heading back to the planet, meaning that an attack on earth was off or, they had something else planed. Whatever the cause, earth was still under a threat. Ranma, Allura and the other members of the V-team agreed to stay on earth for a year to get some more training in.

Either way Voltron was staying on Terra. When Allura called Coran and told him what was going on.

Well as it turned out Nanny and himself was now on there way to Terra to help Allura become more of a woman and a Princess.

The VV Team has agreed that they will stay on Arus to help protected it. But if nothing happen after one year they were going to leave. Allura gave her thanks. However it was up to Nodoka to tell her son who she really is.

With Nodoka being a long lost Princess from one of Arus's sub kingdoms, it was possible for Ranma and her self to finally marry, that's if Ranma was ready for marriage. Allura kept her pacing, she decided that she would be there when Ranma and Nodoka was talking and hopefully keep Ranma calm enough.

Nodoka looked at the young Princess. The older woman could see a lot of her father in her, and that brought a smile to the red haired woman. She was a good match for Ranma by far, well other then Yuka, that is. While Nodoka herself was a Princess still in her own right, her kingdom however was gone.

Coran had told her that five years after the first wave of attacks her home kingdom was destroyed by someone she thought was her friend. The attack happen so fast that everyone was taken by surprised . Once the small kingdom was out of way, It wasn't long after that that the planet itself was doomed. What people don't know is that Zarkon's son, Lotor was only five years old when his father attacked the planet.

The light that read Operation went off and a very tired Kasumi stepped out, and with a soft smile, made her way to the two princess. Reading the look on their faces she said. "It's done, Ranma should be back to himself in a few days."

"That's wonderful news." Nodoka said.

"Can we see him?" Allura asked.

"well, maybe later." Kasumi said, looking at the two of them. "After all Ranma needs his rest." With that said Kasumi walked off, she stopped a few feet away and then turned back to them. "Cdome back in a few hours, the nanomites should have everything done by then."

Eight Months later.

The wind was blowing this warm summer day. Ranma was watching some new recruits go though some drills. The last eight months for Ranma was too much to take in for one person. His ex-best friend ended up being a traitor, he found out that he had a five year old son, and to top it off, he was a Prince from a sub kingdom on Arus.

It was too much to take in, so what did he do? He ran, like a coward. Will he left a note in His and Allura's apartment, saying that it was too much. So, while he was on leave for his injuries, Ranma left the apartment and headed for the one place no one thought to look for him.

Nerima.

The one place where his life as a teen made no sense. Namely the old Tendo house. For some reason even after his break up with Akane it still felt like home. After all this time it still felt like home. The Dojo was gone though and the old house was falling apart after being abandoned for so long after Soun Tendo had passed away.

But for some reason he needed to go back there. Ranma sighed after he remembered the old pictures that was still on the walls of the old house. Akane and Ryouga was having trouble with their new home that was near the Alliance Headquarters. They could have come back to this house instead.

After all it may have been put into Ranma's name, but he was have gladly let Akane have it back for old time sake. The house was given to Ranma two years ago, by Soun Tendo himself.

Two years ago.

Nermia.

Soun Tendo coughed into his hand and looked at Ranma. The young man had been though so much before during and after the war. "Why?" Ranma asked. It was a simple question. The older man looked at Ranma.

He reach up and placed his hand on Ranma's.

"You earned it." Soun said. Ranma was about to protest but Soun had beaten him to it. "You have done so much for this family. No please let me finish." Soun said when again Ranma was about to say something. "You gave Kasumi a friend that become a little brother, You taught Nabiki that money isn't everything, And because of you Akane has a family that she loves very much."

Ranma sighed. "But most of all, you brought me out of my shell, you told me just before you left, that I needed to grow up, and that the time for my mourning was over." Ranma remembered that. Just as he left the Tendo home, he pretty much bitched slapped Soun and told him that he needed to grow up. While he was in training Ryouga told Ranma that Soun had reopened the Tendo Dojo.

"That's way?" Soun slowly nodded his head. "Married or not, you are still apart of this family." Soun removed his hand from Ranma's and signed his name on the will. "This house, and Dojo belongs to you now." Soun said just as he past away.

Two days later Soun Tendo, Grandmaster of the Tendo School of Anything Goes martial arts, was buried next to his wife Kimiko Tendo.

Ranma felt bad for letting the house and Dojo go for so long. But shortly after Soun's passing, Ranma was called back into war. And had forgotten it, until now that is.

Ranma walked up stairs to the second floor. It was just as bad as the first floor. The wooden floor was warped beyond repair. The rooms of Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane was pretty much a mess. Ranma smiled as he remember that Kasumi was the first one to leave this house.

At that time she seemed happy to be leaving in an Apartment close to Doctor Tofu. They soon married but over the years Kasumi wasn't happy with the good doctor. Ranma stopped and took at the door that was to Nabiki's room.

Ranma smiled. Then he did something that he never done before. With a good solid kick Ranma broke open the door. "Nabiki! You Bitch, stop selling pictures of me!" Ranma couldn't help but laugh as Ranma imaged the look Nabiki could have on her face.

"You could have just knocked Saotome," Ranma heard Nabiki say. Then Ranma blinked, he turned around and saw a image of a eighteen year old Nabiki fading away. "and your going to pay for that door." Ranma shook his head. Did that really just happen?

Ranma walked into the old room. Nabiki was the third person to move out shortly after Ranma did. Nibiki made it big as a Manga writer, her first published work was known as Ranko one half. A different take on Ranma's life.

Ranko became a big hit and made Nabiki millions in sells, but Ranma made Nibiki life a living hell when he decided to sue Nabiki. This all happened before the war and Nibiki threaten Ranma if he didn't drop the law suit. Ranma won and nearly left Nabiki broke and on the streets, However Ranma give more then half back to Nabiki.

Nibiki then started writing the Adventures of Ranko .It was completely different them Ranko one half. After that Nabiki become a journalist during the war. This was where Nabiki's true talents was. She wrote about battles, and the heroes who fought and gave their lives for peace.

Nabiki had even interviewed Ranma once, asking him what it was like to be a true hero. Ranma in returned looked her in the eyes and told her. "The real heroes are the ones who never came back." Shortly after that Ranma got the Metal of Honor for his battle of Soule.

Ranma still didn't ware his metals.

The next room was Akanes' it still had the stupid duck on the door. The room was of course empty but there was some things that was still around. The last time Ranma was in this room Both Ranma and Akane said good bye to the life that they had known.

Ranma left the room walked out of the house. Having looking it over Ranma had made up his mind. He did care how long it took, he was going to repair the house and dojo, and then he was going to give it back to it's rightful owners.

That was six months ago. The house was finished, for the most part Ranma felt different. He didn't feel anymore of the rage he once had. Ranma had missed out on a lot of things while fighting in the war.

The lost of Yuka, for the most part, then being picked to bring back a legend to help other planet. Meeting Allura, and felling in love with her.

"Hey." Ranma heard behind him. Ranma turned around and saw Allura, wearing an Alliance uniform.

"how did the training go?" Ranma asked. Allura walked up to Ranma and slapped him one hard, then after that she slapped him again.

"You bastard." Allura nearly yelled out. "How could you?" Ranma stopped her hand from hitting him a third time. "I had to." Ranma said. "There was too much stress going on, I needed to get away." Ranma let go of Allura's hand, then took her in his arms and gently kissed the blond princess.

That night the Voltron force had a welcome back party for Ranma, during which many had commented on that they felt a change in Ranma, he seemed more relaxed, and more opened. Also that same night Ranma and Allura once again made love, in their cursed form, and this time it was better.

Another two months later.

Everything was ready. After a years wroth of training there would be nothing to stop Zarkon from taking over Terra. His looked at his men, followed by Princess Fara, His son Prince Lotor and Haggar. The attack was an easy one.

With his new ships, and the stealth they had The will attack Galaxy Alliance Headquarters fast and hard. Giving no one time to attack back. Fara and Lotor will pilot Doom's newest weapon and finally destroy Voltron.

Once that was done Zarkon would be the ruler and then take over the rest of the Universe. It was that easy , however something didn't seem right as Zarkon sat on his throrn, He should be out there with his troops to make sure they don't mess up.

Making up his mind Zarkon called for his ship to be ready and to have several Robeasts with him. As he made his way down to the Hanger, a lone warrior of the Alliance long thought dead made his way to the com unit. He had an imported call to make.

To Be Concluded.

Next Time on Voltron ½:

The final battle between god and evil is here, it's the Galaxy Alliance vs. Planet Doom in an all out battle from Terra and the Universe. Can Ranma and the Voltron Force stop this mad man and safe the Galaxy, or will everything end up in smoke?

Be here when Book two ends in

Voltron Book Two

Chapter Ten: Doomsday.

Author notes:

This was the hardest chapter to write, I might go back and rewrite it sometime in the future, but for right now I guess it's fine. Heres a few notes for ya.

Adamantium:

Yes it's the metal that covers Wolverine bones. Nuff said.

Souns death:

Soun death was hard to write because I didn't know what he could die of. But then again I don't have to write a reason until I write Book Zero with has nothing to do with Voltron, but Ranma and the others past.

Sub kingdoms:

Arus's sub kingdoms are like they sound, and in the cartoon they talk about two such kingdoms. So I figured why not have more then two and have Nodoka's past be about it?

Nodoka:

I like Nodoka, I like how she loves her son in a twisted sort of way. However in my Story Nodoka is a Princess from a lost kingdom of Arus, which make Ranma a Prince some what. During the first war which takes place some time before Ranma ½ Nodoka was in love with Coran. So of course they had to keep their love secret.

There will be more on Princess Nodoka maybe in spine off stories but then again maybe not. Who knows.

Well I guess that's it. So until I see you in the next chapter, still cool this summer and read on.

Kidan Signing out.
