Arrival
Several pained voices started resonating throughout a room as, in a flash of light, many people found themselves piled up onto each other. Upon closer inspection we see that it's most of the Nerima Wrecking Crew along with the Fiancee Brigade.
"What the hell is going on here?!" demanded Genma, who was at the bottom of the pile.
"Quit whining, old man! You sound like a girl." Ranma said mockingly.
As everyone got out of the pile of bodies, they quickly took note of everyone who was there. Ranma counted himself, his mother, the fat panda that he/she is forced to call her father, the uncute tomboy known as Akane Tendo, her sisters Kasumi and Nabiki, along with Shampoo, Kodachi, Ukyo, and also two strangers that she did not recognize. It was a woman with blue skin, lavender eyes, and white hair done up in twin ponytails on the sides of her head, and a strange purple man with pointed ears like an elf.
"Who are you two? And where in the world did you come from?" Ranma asked, feeling more than a little agitated.
"Oh, my name is Marcarita and this is my associate, Khai. We were merely minding our own business when we were suddenly blinded by a bright flash of light and found ourselves literally beneath all of you." Marcarita explained.
"Yup! Here we are!" added Khai with a smile before he frowned and started looking around. "Where exactly IS here?"
That question made everyone stop what they were doing and start looking around. They appeared to be in what looked like a theater room like the ones you see at the movies. However it wasn't set up like an ordinary movie theater in that it had much more comfortable furniture such as a sofa, a love seat, several recliners, and a beanbag chair. There was also what appeared to be a snack bar with all sorts of food and drinks, though nothing alcoholic, much to Genma's displeasure.
"Great Grandmother tell Shampoo about this. This place movie theater." Shampoo said in her usual broken Japanese.
"Looks a little too classy to be an ordinary movie theater. You think we're in someone's man cave?" Nabiki asked, ever the observant one.
"No, but you're half right. This is not an ordinary movie theater." said a distorted voice.
A large wooden door suddenly appeared in the middle of the wall prompting those who knew how to fight to take up defensive stances. All except for Marcarita and Khai who don't seem worried. The door opens and in walks two very strange individuals. The first of whom looked to be totally human. He was tall and thin with short brownish blonde hair. The other individual, however, really got the humans in the room worried. He was a humanoid in body type, but he couldn't be any more different.
His skin was completely green and he had a white carapace with teal green gem things in various places such as in his head, abdomen, shoulders, hips, arms, and lower legs. He had a set of curved white horns that looked like his carapace growing out of the size of his abnormally large head, and his tail was long and prehensile reminding the gathered people of a reptile. He had piercing red eyes with lime green tear lines underneath, and instead of human feet they looked more like hands with three digits each. While the human seemed calm and aloof, the obvious alien carried himself strong and proud like a warrior.
"Well, my friend, it appears as though our visitors have decided to drop in." the alien said to his human companion.
"Yeah, I'm glad they haven't destroyed the place yet. It usually takes five minutes tops before the fighting stops." the human says with a chuckle.
Nabiki was the first to recover and pointed a finger at the human while asking "Is it just me, or does that guy look a lot like L from the Death Note series?"
He laughed good naturally at this and replied with "I will take that as a compliment, my dear."
"WE HAVE A LITERAL ALIEN STANDING IN THE ROOM AND THAT'S WHAT'S GOT YOUR ATTENTION!?" Akane asked incredulously.
She suddenly yelped as a beam of pinkish-red energy struck dangerously close to her foot. Everyone looked up and saw the alien's index finger smoking, as though something had been launched from it.
"You'd best fix that attitude of yours, little girl, or my next Death Beam will go through your head." he said with a scowl.
"Now, now. This is a unusual situation even for them my friend, so let's try to be friendly for now." says the human.
The alien scowled, but lowered his hand.
"Very well, I shall play nice for now." he said. "Anyway, I'd like to welcome you all to our viewing chamber. My name is Frostbite."
"And since you find me similar to L, you may call me K." the human said as he introduced himself.
Nodoka recovered from her shock relatively quickly and stepped forward, bowing in polite greeting.
"It's very nice to meet you both. I am..."
"We know who you are, Nodoka Saotome. As a matter of fact, we know who all of you are. And we have gathered you all here for the sole purpose of watching the events of your timeline unfold right before your very eyes." Frostbite said. "In fact, the events in your timeline that we shall be viewing revolve heavily around Ranma over there. Which reminds me..."
Using his tail, Frostbite handed Ranma a glass of warm water, which she accepted as she hadn't even realized that she'd been turned into a girl during hers and Genma's usual sparring. She quickly dumped it on herself and reverted back into her true self as a man.
"Ah, that's better. Thanks." he said.
"You're welcome, young Saotome. Now, as I was saying you are here to watch the events of your timeline unfold." Frostbite said.
"So, does anyone have any questions?" K asked.
Kasumi raised her hand and asked "Ano, why are we watching a timeline that's centered around Ranma-Kun? Not that there's anything wrong with that."
Frostbite chuckled with a friendly smile. No matter how annoying or even insufferable her sisters can sometimes be, nor how much of a total wet blanket her father might be, Frostbite could never get mad at Kasumi. She's probably one of the most likeable people in the Nerima ward.
"Well, it's quite simple really. Ranma is the most interesting person in your multiverse." Frostbite said as he began to explain. "You see, K and I are what you might call Editors. As the title implies it's our duty to create and oversee the progress of the multiple worlds that exist as fiction in our world. To us you are all fictional characters whose lives are nothing more than intricate stories for our enjoyment. In fact, a great many characters from the multiverse, including your own, bring much joy and entertainment to people all around our own world. And Ranma over there happens to be one of the most entertaining and inspirational of all the characters in your world."
The group was awestruck at what the lizard man just said to them. They were just fictional characters to these two in a great big multiverse? That just seemed totally impossible to them, and yet they all can sense the truth in his words. But that's when Nodoka brought out a pair of victory fans and started dancing around.
"Wai-Wai! My son is so manly!" she cheered.
The two editors couldn't help but sweatdrop at the woman's behavior and wondered if she might have some sort of bipolar medical condition. With a snap of Frostbite's fingers, the fans disappeared.
"Please don't do that again." K said politely.
"Sorry. Old habit." Nodoka said sheepishly.
Frostbite was quick to collect himself and took out a clipboard.
"Here's the deal. We're gonna put you all in a form of seating order and will then answer any additional questions you all might have, so when I call your name out go to your assigned seat." he said. "Ranma and Shampoo, you two will be seated on the loveseat. Akane will be on the beanbag chair. Kasumi, Ukyo, and Kodachi will go to one sofa, Genma shall take one recliner, Nodoka gets the other, and Nabiki will be seated on the remaining sofa with Khai and Marcarita."
"If you're hungry, please tell me now what you want." K said politely.
Everyone went to their respective seats with several of the fiancees grumbling about not sitting with their Ranma while Shampoo simply smiled and gave a victory sign. Everyone gave a request for a snack and drink which was then prepared by K before Frostbite distributed them using telekinesis. As a big screen popped up, Nabiki rose her hand
"I just have one question before this starts. What exactly is the name of what we're watching?" she asked.
"G.o.D of Nermia." K said with a smile as Marcarita's eyes slightly widened.
