Part 54: "2008" (Act 24)
The next day…

Ranma yawned, as the sun rose from the East while he rolls out of bed. With his Naru aspect visiting her "mother" with little Beryl, and with "Ucchan's" closed that day, Ranma could be just himself for a change-

"YESSSSSSS!" came a familiar yell.

Miko and MInako both sit up from the bed they share with Akane and Ranma. The bed was specially made accommodate up to six people if necessary.

"What was that?" Miko says.

"Sounds like Akane," Minako says.

"Good question-" Ranma began.

"Hey!" Akane says, as she ran back into the bedroom. "Guess what?"

"You're pregnant?" Ranma asks.

"How did you know?"

"You're holding the stick from a pregnancy test kit."

"Huh?"

"In your hand," Miko says, as she points. "And Ranma already told us that you were pregnant."

Akane then realizes that she was holding the pregnancy stick in her hand. Yes, she already went to Dr. Tofu to confirm what she was feeling, but she thought pretending that she didn't know she was pregnant would keep her at the center of attention.

"Oh. But I wanted to surprise everyone."

"Well, I was surprise, when you told me the first time," Ranma says. "Surprise."

"Did you ever use one, Ranma?" Minako asked.

"What?" Ranma replied. "You're thinking of having a baby or something?"

"Maybe…"

"Hey, wait a minute…why are YOU asking me about this stuff?"

"Well, you were a mother and all before."

"Yeah, under protest!"

"So, which one do recommend, Ranma?" Miko asked.

"Get the one with the crane on it, not the one with the stork. Hey! No fair, Miko!"

The girls giggled.

Just then, Naruto and the other kids—save for Natsume, who is living at the dorm at the University of Tokyo now—peeks into the bedroom.

"What's that noise?" Naruto says, as he rubs his eyes.

"Your step-mother Akane is going to have a baby," Ranma says.

"Where going to have another kid around here?"

"I think it's wonderful!" Karumi says, as she runs into her mother's arms. "That's neat, Mom!"

"See?" Akane says. "At least SOMEONE appreciates my efforts."

"How WON-derful," Genko says flatly. "More competition."

"Don't be like that, Gen-chan," Renata says. "Having lots of brothers and sisters is neat!"

"Perhaps," Ranma says. "But in the mean time, LEAVE."

"Ranma!" Minako says, as she swats Ranma's left arm.

"I need to get dressed, you know!"

"We'll talk some more about this later," Akane says, as she squeezed her daughter. She then turns to Ranma. "At least SOMEONE cares!"

Ranma sighs. Inside, Ranma was happy for Akane and the impending birth of their child. However, with everything going on, he wasn't sure if he wanted more children at this point in time. Also, while money was not a problem, it was getting pretty crowded living at the Tendo residence. Something definitely has to change...if he wanted to get more control over the situation.

Meanwhile…

Mary Batson was wondering the streets of Tomoboki, as if she was drawn to this part of Nerima Prefecture. Either THAT, or Mary was still upset about being molested by some boy, so much so that she left the Tendo residence early before breakfast.

"Blast, where is that guy?" Mary says to herself. She was SO mad that she could…could…

"I'm telling you, Lum," Ataru Morobishi says, as he and a girl walked down the market. "I don't remember what I did!"

"Well, because of YOU, I almost lost my powers…completely, yes?" Lum says. Her horns and original hair-color were returning to normal. "What if Oyuki or Ran some other person decided to challenge me again, yes?"

"Then we'll deal with it…together."

Lum stops, and faces her "darling".

"You mean it?"

"Eh," Ataru says with a hug.

"Oh, that's wonderful-!"

"You!"

Lum and Ataru both turn around to see an irate foreign girl.

"Um, yes?" Ataru asks.

"You're going to pay for molesting me!" Mary says. "SHAZAM!"

BOOM!

A lightning bolt came down from the heavens and struck Mary. When the smoked cleared, Mary was transformed into Black Mary Marvel. However, there were some noticeable changes. Instead of wearing an all-black skaters outfit, Mary now wore a black, leather bodice (with a large, gold-mesh lighting bolt), a black leather miniskirt (with a gold belt), gold bracelets and calf-length stiletto boots (laced). But was most striking was the fact that Mary now had bigger boobs, a more curvy body, tiny horns and blue hair.

"Wha…what?" Mary says, as her eyes seemed to glaze over.

"Darling, get behind me, yes?" Lum says, as she gets ready to do battle with this shape-shifting harridan.

"You okay, miss?" Ataru says. Normally, he would try to make a move on the girl, but for some reason, he didn't feel like it.

"Ah, I must go find Darling, yes?" Mary says with a smile, as she takes to the skies.

"Huh?" Ataru and Lum say together, as they look at each other.

Meanwhile…

Usagi stretches, as she gets up from her bed. Yesterday, she had to deal with her parents asking her questions about where she was, and what happened to her. As much as Usagi might be inclined to be more open, she did not want to have her parents worry. Yes, getting "molested" more times she cared for was a serious matter, but Usagi philosophy was simple: make the bastard pay for such indignation. In actuality, it was her "Darth Lune" persona that felt the sting of being "molested" at the hands of an evil version of one of Usagi's dearest friends. Still, even when thinking rationally, it's hard not to think of HER Jonathon Archer as her…rapist. Usagi, as an experience time traveler and dimensional hopper had to remember that there are darker aspects of the people she knew and love. After all…she HAD given into evil at one point in life. Unfortunately, in that particular case, Usagi still receives the annual summons to show up at clan Tzimice for Sabbat meetings as the representative of the Dracul, which was one of the reasons why she purchased Castle Dracula outright from her bastard "sire". At least her "sisters" Lilly, Marishka and the others handle the day-to-day (or should that be night-to-night?) business for her…

"Let's see," Usagi says, as she takes off her nightgown. She was glad that the Doctor figured out a way to get her chastity belt off. The bad news was that she promised her Dad that she would remain celibate until her wedding night. It did upset her that she can't be with Ranma, especially since Akane, Minako and Miko had access to him. Usagi was definitely planning on enjoying herself when-

"Oh, darn," Usagi says in realization. She just remembered that she promised Maria and Seikima of the Shikima that she and Ranma would "swing" with them, as part of the condition that allowed Miko to marry Ranma.

"Oh, well," Usagi says aloud. "Seikima is…handsome, for a demon lord, and I can't get pregnant due to my immortality's 'Quickening'. And a deal is a deal, but at least Ranma will take my 'new' virginity first…again."

Usagi then examines her body, and flex a bit. She was still toned, and nice and curvy in all the right places. Her magic tattoos were still present. In fact, being mystic in nature, they were actually branded on her soul. So no matter how many bodies she goes through, they will always appear-

KNOCK-KNOCK!

"Yes?" Usagi says, as she quickly wraps her body with her robe.

"Mom wants to know if you are coming down for breakfast," Shingo says through the door.

"I'll be down in a minute," Usagi says, as she suddenly uses super-speed to get herself cleaned up and dressed. She then opens the door.

"Hey, Shingo," Usagi says, as she steps out into the hallway.

"That was fast," says the teenager.

"Yeah, it was, squirt."

"Hey, almost as tall than YOU, Usa!"

"The operative word is 'almost'," Usagi says, as she sticks out her tongue.

Meanwhile at the end of the Universe…

"Man, look at this place," Cassandra says, as she looked down in a hollowed out canyon, not at all dissimilar to the homes of the Hopi of Arizona.

"It's all ruins," Martha says.

"I'm not surprise," the Doctor says. "This is the end of the Universe."

"I wonder why there aren't any stars out?" Rose says.

"Is this because it is so cold?" Gwyneth says, as she rubbed her arms.

"Most likely because there aren't any stars," Jack says.

"Doctor," Rose says, as she uses her phone as a "Tricorder". "I'm detecting life-signs."

As if on cue…

"HUUUUUMAAAAAAN!" yelled the mutant woman, as she confronted another "meal".

"Ahhhhhh!" the man yelled, as he turned tail and ran in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, the Doctor and company hears and sees this from the upper ridge, as well as the sound drums pounding.

"A hunt is a foot," Cassandra says, as she scans the so-called "opposition".

"Agreed," the Doctor says, as he ran in the direction of the prey. "This way!"

"God, how I like this!" Jack yells in delight.

"Quiet, you!" Cassandra says. "Every time we get into trouble, you seem to get off on it!"

"TELL me about it," Rose says. "You should read the Torchwood mission logs!"

"Prejudicial!" Jack says.

Quickly, the group intercepts the man, as he runs away.

"Ha!" the man screams.

"Jack, cover Gwen," Cassandra says.

"What about you?" Gwyneth asks.

"I'm going to show you a new jutsu, like I promised," Cassandra says.. "Use your 'Sharingan'."

"Okay…Sharingan!"

DOOM!

One of Gwyneth's eyes turns red with tomoe marks on the iris.

"What the-?" Martha begins.

"Sharingan," the Doctor says. "Quite a nice trick."

"Now," Cassandra says. "Do as I do."

Cassandra performs mudra hand sign

"Oh, like this?" Gwyneth says, as she repeats Cassandra's movements.

"Yes."

"Guys, there almost on top of us!" Jack says nervously.

"Don't be such a wimp, Jack," Rose says.

"Calm down, we're here to help!" Martha says.

"We have a place we can go to safety," the Doctor says, as he turns to see more "packs" heading in his group's direction.

"Maybe not," Jack says.

"You…Is there any place we can go?" Rose asks the man.

"We can go to 'The Silo'-"

"HUUUMAAAAAAAAAN-!"

"Now!" Cassandra says. "Air Elemental Release: Bowling Ball Strike!"

As one, Cassandra and Gwyneth create a ball of air in their respective hands, and winds back and toss a ball of air at the mutants.

RUMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBLE-!

The mutants see the twin, large balls of air barring down their way…

BAM!

"Yes!" Cassandra says. "Strike!"

"Oh, please!" Jack says. "That was more of a spare!"

"Well, it won't be long before they regroup," the Doctor says. "Silo?"

"Silo!" says the group in unison.

And with that, the group continues to run to safety.

Eventually, they make their way to "The Silo", which contained a missile that was as large as the Empire State Building in old New York City. And it is there that they meet-

"Professor Yana, at your service," says an older, middle age man, as he shook the Doctor's hand. He had white, trim hair, and wore an early 20th century gentlemen's suit. In effect, Yana reminded of a, well, professor.

"And you must be the Doctor that I've been hearing about…I could use your expertise."

"I've only been here for a short time, but I do like the recognition," the Doctor says. He then turns to Cassandra. "Cassandra, see about getting our 'box' will ya?"

"Aye, aye, Doc," Cassandra says.

"Rose, Gwyneth: check the layout of this place."

"Okay, but stay out trouble," Rose says.

"Yes, Doctor," says Gwyneth.

"What about me?" Jack says.

"You can come with me…so Martha can keep an eye on you," the Doctor says.

"Hey!" Jack and Martha say in unison.

"People being saying that a lot lately," the Doctor says.

"Come, let me show you what I have thus far," Yana says, as he pulls the Doctor by the arm to his laboratory…
