**************************************

"Hm, if I reroute the power modulator from point A to the positron in Sector 12, then I should be able to.........." Yes, this techno babble could be heard quite clearly through Bulma's lab. She was, as you guessed, inventing something new! Yes yes, I know, big surprise, but this time it was something big. Yep, in fact, it was a Trans-dimensional reality warp portal. That's right, a Trans-dimensional reality warp portal buuuut, we'll just call it REEAO. Anyway, she was working on REEAO, not for the good of humanity, really, but, hey, maybe it would make a profit, if it worked.

As this techno-babble continued, elsewhere, work of a more "strenuous" type ensued.

"TRUNKS! Would you stop playing weak and hit me!" Vegeta yelled at his son. They were both Super-Saiyans, and even though Vegeta, far, outranked his son in strength, he would not have Kakarot's youngest son do what Kakarot himself, had done to Vegeta.

"I'm trying, Trunks yelled. They were in 100 times normal Earth gravity, so any human would have been crushed by the weight. Vegeta landed a hard punch to Trunks' jaw.

"OW!" Trunks yelled at his father,"You didn't have to hit so hard!"

"Feh", Vegeta replied,"I wouldn't have to if I didn't have a weakling for a son! You shouldn't even have felt that!" Vegeat said to his son. Trunks yelled, and flew toward his father. He tried to punch him, but as Trunks drew close, Vegeta disapeared as Trunks felt a hard blow to the back of his neck, as Vegeta's elbow crushed ino it.

"AAHH!"Trunks screamed in pain. He immediatly turned around and landed a punch to Vegeta's face.

"TAKE THIS! Vegeta shouted at the top of his lungs, as he blasted Trunks away. Trunks lay on the ground, twitching, and sizzling. "Training is over for now. I hope you get better by next time Trunks. Vegeta walked out the the door of the traning facility.

"Darn it!"Trunks said, with anger in his voice. "I still said he didn't have to hit so hard."

Miles away, training of a more gentle type was taking place in the country side. "Alright, both of you attack me at once, and we'll see how you do!"Goku said smiling at his sons. "Right dad,"Goten and Gohan said in unison. They all turned Super-Saiyan and comenced fighting. They were going all out, so as to increases their strength. To the human eye, they barely would have a blur, but they were flying all over, fighting eachother in mid-air. Goku was holding off Gohan and Goten's punches, as he sent a few of his own their way. Then Gohan landed a punch to Goku in the gut, as Goku hit Gohan in the face. Goten to this oportunity to hit Goku in the face. Goku then put an elbow into Goten's cheek. They all backed away. "Nice warm-up guys!"Goku said smiling. "Yeah, a good warm-up."Gohan replied. "Sure got me one dad!"Goten said smiling his inocent smile and putting one hand on the back of his head. "Weeell, you guys got me pretty good too!"Goku said laughing and following Goten in the hand on the head gesture. "I guess we should really get started then"Goku said, stretching his legs.

"Yeah, i guess so,"Gohan said in reply. They all powered up to Super-Saiyan, then pushed it up to the next level.

"Ahhh, that feels good,"Goku said, doing a flip in the air. "Let's get started." They took up a sparring stance, before flying toward eachother. This was a free-for-all battle, so they all had to block eachothers attacks. It had been hard enough for Gohan and Trunks to block all of Goku's attacks together, and it was even harder, trying to block eachothers as well. Goku was now being attacked from both sides. Gohan ansd Goten had apparently, quietly decided to team up. Goku nailed both of them in the face. He took the advantage of their being stunned for a moment to power up an energy attack. He fired at both of them, just as they looked up. They both got hit in the stomach, by the blast. They put their heels against the ground to slow down. They both power up and cancelled out the blasts. and immediatly took up stance and flew toward Goku. Goku was ready. He disappeared, and as Gohan and Goten almost collided, he reappeared behind them. He smiled, hitting their heads together. "Heh, got you!"Goku exclaimed, laughing, as he disappeared again.

"Darn it!"Gohan said as he searched for his father's energy. He suddenly sensed it. His eyes widened as he yelled,"GOTEN, BEHIND YOU!".

"Huh,"Goten asked, slightly struck dumb for a moment. He looked back, a drop of sweat forming on his head. His father was there smiling.

"Ha! Got you!"he shouted as he got Goten in a grip, as he pulled his arms up around Goten's.

"Darn it dad!"Goten said, as he struggled to get out of his father's grip.

"Thanks for the diversion Goten!"Gohan exclaimed as he appeared behind Goku.

"Not so fast Gohan,"Goku said, flipping around so that if Gohan tried to punch him, he would only hit Goten.

"Gotcha dad,"Goten smiled as he flipped Goku toward the ground, and tried toslam him into it. Goku loosened his grip, to push off the groun, but just as he did, Goten got loose, and slipped free, just in time for Gohan to elbow his father in the back. Goku would have hit the ground if he hadn't blasted him self back up into the air. He stopped and floated, before disappearing again, only to appear behind Gohan and tap him on the shoulder, just before hitting him on the back of the head. He disappeared again and elbowed Goten in the back.

Gohan and Goten fell over, onto the ground. Goku appeared between them, laughed, and said,"Ha ha, now that was a nice workout!" Gohan and Goten got up, smiling and rubbing where Goku had hit them.

"Yah, you sure got us there, dad!"Gohan complemented.

"Yah dad! You were great!"Goten said, in his happy tone.

"Well, I can't take all the glory, you guys got me a few times there!"Goku laughed, in a happy-go-lucky ton, much similar to Goten's. "I'll tell you one thing though, I am starved!"Goku said, his stomach rumbling.

"Me too!"Gohan and Goten exclaimed at one.

"Lunch should be ready right about now,"Gohan said, looking up at the sky.

"Bet I can beat you home!"Goku said, in a ,"I'm faster than you are", tone.

"Yeah right!"Goten said as he smiled, in a "nuh-uh!"tone of voice. And with that, they raced off home, to a full lunch.

In another dimension...................

Genma woke up to the sound oh Ranma being hit out the window by Akane, into the, all to familiar, pond. He yawned and walked over to the window, looking down, to see Ranma, halfway in the water, one hand, bent at the elbow, thumb index finger and pinky out. He yawned again,"Good morning Akane."

Akane grumbled, stomping out of the room, mallet over her shoulder. Genma smiled. It was a normal morning. He had positivly no idea, as to, why his son had been malleted out the window, and personally, he didn't care. It was normal, and after a while, he didn't really notice it anymore. After he got dressed, he walked down-stairs, where something smelled delicious. 'Mmmmm,'he thought to himself. 'Boy am i hungry!' He went into the bathroom to get ready, and, for no apparent reason, after he got ready, he doused himself with cold water. Perhaps it was so he could inhale more food, being able to turn into a Panda. However, for the exact reason, the world will, most likely, never know. After this turn of events, which would have thoroughly confused any normal person,

Genma went downstairs. He sat down at the table, where, Soun was setting up a Shoji board for later(Genma had no real idea why that's what they did all day.) , Nabiki was counting Yen from a box that was labled,"Kuno"(This stack of money was quite large, and Genma wondered, if this poor boy boy would soon be out on the street, begging.) , and Akane, sat frowning. Genma took no notice of the red-headed girl, finally getting out of the pond. Suddenly, the panda held up a sign that stated*What is with you people! Go comment on other people's thoughts!* Sorry Genma. After this strange incident, everyone looked at Genma, and tried to figure out what he was talking about. Genma held up another sign, stating,*Belive me, I have no idea what I just did that for.* Sorry Genma, but I can't have you spreading secrect about thing you aren't supposd to know. Hope he didn't hear that..... Oh well. At any rate, stranger things happened everyday in Nerima.

Ranma came in grumbling, as headed to the kitchen for some hot water. Not long afterwards, a black-haired young man came out of the kitchen and went upstairs to get dressed. Shortly after, he came back down for breakfast, which was already layed out on the table. He sat down with everyone else and started munchin' down. Yes, Genma and Ranma ate very fast and quite a lot, but Kasumi never seemed to mind, and also never seemed to run out of food. Another phenomenon that will, perhaps, never be explained.

Luckily, it was the summer, and there was no school. However, this also meant, that anything could happen. Even.........THE DOOR SUDDENLY RUSHING OPEN AND, LO AND BEHOLD: Kuno, had accidentally sat on Ranma's head.

"Greetings, Saotome and Tendo families! Whither is the foul wretch Saotome?! He shall't answer to the edge of my blade! No doubt he fears my prowess!-"Suddenly, Kuno was whacked over the head. He landed outside, strangly balancing on his head. An amazing feat. Kuno, I comend you. "Ranma Saotome, what do you have against me?!"

"Ah, shaddup Kuno! Can't I eat without some wacko trying to kill me?! Sheesh!!"Ranma exclaimed in frustration. As I said, in the summer, in Nerima, anything can happen. That's right, even, a loud rumbling sound coming up from the ground. Kuno, amazingly tilted his head, yet remaining to balance. "Hm?"he said in surprise. Suddenly, Ryoga was there holding a map.

"Hello*phew*, I finally made it,ryoga said, with a sigh of relief. Tears welled in his eyes. "Akane, I have finally gathered the nerve to tell you hat I-"Ryoga was cut off, as he noticed Kuno on top of his head.

"Who art though, newcomer?!"Kuno asked, in his dramatic tione of voice.

"Get off my head, you psyco!"Ryoga yelled at Kuno. Kuno landed right side up.

"Ha, silence oh fool! I... am Tatewaki Kuno, Master Kendoist! Fear my blade, for I am the 'Blue Thunder of Furinkan High!'"Kuno said, introducing himself. "Now...who art though?!"

"I am Ryoga Hibiki. PREPARE TO DIE!" Ryoga screamed at Kuno. Kuno barely dodged.

"I have more important things to do. Despite my destiny to destroy you Saotome, I have come to confess my love for my dear Akane!"Kuno exclaimed, as he rushed up to Akane to give her a bouquet of roses.

Ryoga went wide-eyed,"A-Akane, do you love him??!"

Ryoga went into one of his wacky, yet semi-depressing fantasies, in which Kuno was holding Akane in his arms saying,"Akane, my dearest, I love you. You are fairer than the wind in the grass, and we are finally free of that wretch Saotome."

"Yes, my dear Kuno,"Akane replied. "I am only happy it was you who loved me. I know Ranma and Ryoga didn't,"she said, a look of sadness, then joy in her eyes. "But I have you, now!"she exclaimed, before falling into a deep passionate kiss with Kuno.

"No..."Ryoga said, softly at first. "NO! IT CAN'T BE TRUE!"Ryoga put his hands on his head in agony. He saw Akane looked at him.

"I did love you Ryoga, but I knew you didn't love me,"Akane said.

"No Akane, I love you! I have always loved you!"Ryoga pleaded.

"You're too late Ryoga,"Kuno said. "Dear Akane and I are wed now."

"Good-bye Ryoga!"Akane said, as her and Kuno faded into the darkness.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"Ryoga screamed in agony. He fell to his knes screaming.

Ranma took a gess at what was going on in Ryoga-Vision and said,"Whoa Ryoga, calm down man!"

"Are you kidding Ryoga, I coukld never love Kuno!"Akane exclaimed. Ryoga looked up with the most agonizing look on the planet.

"FOUL SORCERER SAOTOME! RELEASE AKANE AND THE PIG-TAILED GIRL FROM THIS BINDING SPELL OF YOURS!"Kuno screamed, running at Ranma. As this fighting ensued, Ryoga, who was thoroughly confused, lay on the ground sobbing in agony.

Yes, all the while, Genma sat there, inhaling food, not really taking notice of the drama taking place in the back yard. Yes, he had become quite accostomed to it. He had no idea why there was a boy on the ground, screaming in agony, or why his son was being chased down by a young man with a bokken, or why Soun was crying over the whole thing, and personally, it didn't really matter to him. It was a normal morning in Nerima. *REPORT ON SOMEONE ELSE ALREADY* Sorry again there Genma.

Soun stopped his crying to look at this. he had become used to Genma holding signs up to invisible beings by now. So it had only started this morning buuut, as I said, stranger things happened all the time. It didn't really matter to him at the moment. Then he thinks,'So this is what Genma was talking about.' Sorry 'bout that Soun..........................
