From his vantage point, the cat turned to his companion.
"What's going on?"
The silver-haired pseudo-god cocked an eyebrow. "I don't
know. My brother never told me about this part."

"What is it, Ranma?" asked a concerned Akane.
"Damn... it's starting," he groaned from where he had
collapsed.
"What is?"
"The difference between our kind, Akane... You need
outside infusions of... food... nourishment... to survive. We
don't..."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"What we... do need is spiritual energy. There... are
many sources of it..."
"And..."
"In the old days... the primary source was from prayer...
worship... Things... have... changed. Yggdrasil... solved...
many... such... problems... by... providing... us... with... a
steady... stream... of... power..."
Akane nodded, starting to understand.
"I... need more... than... most, because... ungh... I...
use... so much... kinda... like... atheletes... need... more...
food... These... cut... off... from..." With the last bit, Ranma
passed out.
-----------------
In Juuban, a silver-haired young man was looking at a map.
"Hmm... L-chan should be around here somewhere..." he mumbled.
-----------------
The cat nearly spat out his tea. "THAT'S YOU!!!!" he
yelled.
The silver-haired pseudo-god smirked. "It's the simulated
version of me, anyway, yes."
"Bu... but..."
"Now do you understand?"
"Not really..."
"You will."
"It's really annoying when you say that, you know."
-----------------
"What's wrong with Ranma?" asked Kasumi after Akane hauled
him back.
"I'm not sure," she replied, "I think I understand... but...
if it's true..." She trailed off, looking out into space.
-----------------
Back in Juuban, a bald, fat panda with 'I'm a dishonorable
piece of trash' tatooed on its butt was running for its life from
several winged, armored figures and hardly looking where it was
going. When it came across a silver-haired figure, it punched him
out of its way. Big mistake.
"CHAOS LANCE!"
A bolt of raw magical energy escaped the silver-haired
pseudo-god's hand and impacted on the panda, looking much like a
bolt of silver lightning. The panda continued on its way,
occasionally throwing off magical sparks. After what Genma had
been through, ignoring the pain came easily.
"Oh. Hi, Dart," the silver-haired pseudo-god said, glancing
at one of the armored people.
Dart broke off his persuit and landed by the figure. "Hey,
Ranma," he said.
-----------------
The cat groaned. "YOU'RE USING MY POOL TO SIMULATE A REAL
TIMELINE, AREN'T YOU?!?" he yelled, looking at his companion.
The silver-haired pseudo-god nodded. "My brother's home
reality, in fact."
The cat just buried its head under its paws.
-----------------
When Genma returned to the Tendo dojo, he was still giving
off sparks of raw magical energy. Ranma saw him from where he was
lying down and chuckled weakly. "'kane..." he murmured, "tell...
others... unlock... panda... curse..."
Akane looked up from where she was maintaining a constant
vigil over him. "Wha... what?" she exclaimed in surprise, "I don't
understand!"
Ranma's breathing was becoming labored. "'kane... curse...
corrupted... 'niichan... lance... magic... change... not...
const... const... constant anymore. Tell... others... unlock..."
Ranma finally fell unconscious.
-----------------
In a place between realities, a cat was rolling over in
laughter. "I can't believe it! You actually hit Genma with a
Chaos Lance!"
The silver-haired pseudo-god sheepishly scratched the back
of his head. "Yes, well, I didn't know what it would do at the
time. After all, the attack was still relatively new to me. I'd
never attacked someone with it directly with it before, at least
not anyone with a transformative curse."
"Hey! I thought you hit your father with one!"
"That worthless piece of trash isn't my father."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever."
"Besides, I hit the ground in front of him back then."
The cat groaned again.
-----------------
After Akane called Khu Lon and told her what Ranma had
said, the old ghoul was laughing like crazy. Ten minutes later,
Genma's curse was unlocked. A cup of hot water later, and a
bald, fat martial artist with a highly-distorted 'I'm a
dishonorable piece of trash' tatooed on his butt was dancing
about with Soun.
"Oh, happy day! My sacrifices are finally paying off!"
he yelled, "Soon our houses will be joined!"
From where she was watching, Nabiki just shook her head
sadly.
-----------------
The peace, or what passed for it, in the household
lasted for all of five minutes. Kasumi, disgusted at her
father and his friend, threw a bucket of water at them. Cold
water. When it hit Genma, electricity cackled across his form,
as he appeared to change in slow motion. The fat melted off of
his body and he lost a few inches of height. His clothes
morphed into a skintight bodysuit as he grew breasts, and his
proportions took on a feminine cast. Most interestingly of all,
pink hair sprouted from his skull, settling in a hairdo that
reminded everyone of Vegeta from Dragonball Z.
"Genma-Genma go and play!" s/he shouted, pouncing
through a nearby wall in an extremely catlike fashion.
His/her rampage ended in a half hour, when s/he nearly
demolished the Ryuusobaya and Herb hit Genma-Genma with a blast
of hot water.
Khu Lon was laughing well into the night.
-----------------
Meanwhile, in the Kuno mansion...
Tatewaki-chan sat with her bokken on her lap,
contemplating the... err... changes s/he had been through lately.
"This is all the fault of that cur, Omigami," he thought,
"Now I must unseal the fearsome true power of the Kuno!"
With that, s/he got up, pausing to scratch her lice-
infested armpits, and walked to the basement. After passing
through the extensive security, he entered a secret vault. "In
the name of clan Kuno," he exclaimed, "I summon my ancestor!!!!"
A pentigram suddenly appeared on the floor, and a blue
flame appeared in the middle. "WHO DARES SUMMON ME?!?" boomed a
voice, echoing across the vault.
"I, rising star of the high school fencing world, undefeated
captain of the Furinkan High kendo team, Kuno Tatewaki, the Blue
Thunder!"
"OH. YOU. JUST A MOMENT," echoed the voice, as the flame
dissappeared. A few minutes later (which Kuno spent pacing), a
figure rose from the floor at the center of the pentegram.
"Hello," it said, "I'm Stupid."
-------------------
On his way back, Genma was hit by a lady wielding a ladle.
"FIREBALL!" he, now a redheaded she in a really wierd outfit,
yelled, toasting said ladle lady. "Heh," s/he said, admiring his/her
handiwork, "That'll teach you to mess with Genma Inverse!"
-------------------
The cat fell over laughing. "Spring of Drowned Random Female Anime
Character?" he asked, clutching his sides.
The silver-haired pseudo-god just nodded in response as the cat's
laughter redoubled.
-------------------
"COME ON OUT, FOUL KAMI!" a voice shouted from outside the Tendo
Dojo, "COME ON OUT AND FACE THE WRATH OF STUPID, DEMON OF INCONTINENCE!"
Inside, Ranma clutched his sides. "That... that's... incompotence,"
Ranma gasped out to Akane, "You... you take... ca... care... of him...
would you?"
Akane just nodded, walking outside.
-------------------
"STUPID NO BAKA!!!"
Three guesses who went flying over Tokyo?
-------------------
"Really," Akane said, wiping the lime-flavored Jell-o off of her
arm, "What kind of attack was THAT?"
Kasumi casually wiped some chocolate pudding off of the compound
wall. "Oh my," she said, "I think he meant 'Desert Storm'."
-------------------
"What's going on?"
The silver-haired pseudo-god cocked an eyebrow. "I don't
know. My brother never told me about this part."
