Part 21
Dr. Tempo: Er, let's continue, shall we?
Earth-14: An Earth where the deaths of Tuxedo Mask and Akane Tendo, albeit accidentally, results in the birth of an aggressive birth to an aggressive "Princess Sailor Moon" and vengeful Ranma Saotome, forcing the Sailor Scouts and the Nerima Wrecking Crew to do battle against each other.
Lelouch: Civil War.
Ranma: Yeah, we both had to knock some sense into those camps.
"Jackie" (sighing, while holding Ranma's right): Unfortunately. I hated to deal with my counterpart so…thoroughly. I just hope we never have to go through such trauma ourselves.
Ranma: Agreed.
Earth-15: The Silver Millennium never fell; Ranma was never cursed.
Dr. Tempo: Now, Requiem would HATE this world. This'll no doubt be a prime target.
"Jackie": Considering the fact that this Requiem has been hit hard lately, I doubt he would have the resources to pull it off, especially considering the fact that my counterpart is stronger than due to age, especially after defeating Chaos early on.
Dr. Tempo: If you say so…
Earth-16: Usagi and Ranma as ordinary people with no special abilities.
Lewiett: Requiem tempting these versions of Usagi and Ranma would not be surprising.
Ranma: That WOULD be a problem.
Earth-17: The Rifts.
Kirby-Shinji: This where Requiem got the interesting tech?
(Everyone looks at Kirby-Shinji.)
Kirby-Shinji: Well, when my mom's reborn as Samus Aran, and Rei is Krystal...
(Everyone else goes "ohh...")
Ranma: Maybe you can talk to your old boss Lord Splynncrth about giving us a heads up on Requiem's activities there, Jax?"
"Jackie": Oh, yeah, like I want to open THAT old wound…
Earth-18: Tokugawa era version of Ranma and Usagi.
Earth-19: Meiji Restoration era of Ranma and Usagi.
Dr. Tempo: Normal enough to not be a threat…
Earth-20: Two-fisted tales of the Lunar Mask (Usagi), and her side-kick "Pony" (who is the disguised Teen Private Detective Ranma Saotome in girl-form). Set in the world of Pulp.
Dr. Tempo: Not so much.
Tempo: Ah, Pulp...I love film noir.
Earth-21: Ranma and Usagi's story begins right after WW2.
Lewiett: Normal.
Earth-22: Usagi and Ranma come out of retirement to deal with a more violent and cynical versions of the next generation of the Sailor Scouts and Nerima Wrecking Crew.
Dr. Tempo: Requiem would LOVE to get this next generation on his side.
The Doctor: I am working on a way to reseal the "borders", so to speak, thereby prevent Requiem from continue his recruitment drive…
Earth-23: After "Judgment Day" (the "The Terminator"), the Machines won the war against the humans ("The Matrix").
Donna: Been there, done THAT. Bought the t-shirt for a 'quid'.
Tempo: We know that Requiem sent the Maverick Vrius here. Back in my homeworld, the Maverick Virus drove Reploids crazy; Requiem using that virus was a sick, and yet cunning, move. Then there is "Earth-24"-
Lelouch: If I may, Doctor, I may…?
Dr. Tempo: Of course.
Lelouch: Thank you. Being from a version of this timeline, I can comment on this one easily. Here's the timeline…
