Nerima: Tendo Dojo
Smiling as she was invited into the home of her best friend, Pan glanced at the family photos that lined the walls and tables.
" Oh hello Pan-Chan, visiting my daughter today?"
Looking at her friends mother, Pan wondered how the woman looked like a twenty three years old when she was around ten years older than that.
Smiling as the girl nodded and stared at her in wonder, Sakura Zael, daughter of Akane Tendo couldn't help but let a bit of pride swell up within her.
\\ After all how many women in their late thirties can pass for their daughters older sister?//
" Well follow me dear, Midori is out back with Mr. Saotome and Reiko-Chan."
Nodding at the information, Pan smiled at the thought of sparing with Reiko and Midori.
\\ I wonder if Midori mastered how to fly yet… Reiko did in one day… I still wonder how a normal human has such a high energy level without being a martial artist… then again…//
Following Zael-San, Pan noted the Album that was on the table and stopped for a moment.
\\ Wow, who's the hunk in the red shirt… he's even better looking than Trunks… I wonder…//
" Uhn Sakura-San…"
Smiling at the young girl, Sakura turned around to see what the problem was.
" Yes, Pan-Chan?"
" Uhn … well could you tell me who this is?"
Blinking a bit, Sakura walked over to the album and frowned at the picture.
" That my little one is … Ranma Saotome…"
Blinking at the amount of venom that was said, as if the name was disgusting and shouldn't even be mentioned, Pan pouted a bit.
\\ I wonder what this guy did?//
" I don't want to be rude but…"
Smiling at the Teen, Sakura nodded already knowing where this was heading.
" Well why don't you go say hello to Midori and Reiko-Chan and then we'll talk, Ok dear?."
Smiling Pan answered with a high pitched Hai and ran towards the dojo.

Satan City
" You're an Android…"
Frowning a bit, Ryoga folded his arms and replied.
" And what if I am?"
Looking around at the people that was going about on their daily routine, Trunks sighed.
" Nothing… I guess"
Smirking Ryoga looked over to Ranma and yell.
" Yow Ranma! Get Over here"
Frowning at how callously Ryoga yelled his name, Ranma walked over to the two.
Looking at the other kid that was with the one he now knows is an Android, Trunks sighed.
\\ Ahh man, there both Androids, and they're too much people around to fight them here…//
" Yea yea, what do ya want Ryoga?"
" Well, it seems he knows what we are…"
Blinking at this, Rama frowned and then shrugged.
" So eliminate him, we have to wait for the others before we start our mission."
Blinking as the two discussed what they should do with him like he wasn't there, Trunks began to formulate a plan that would avoid innocent lives being taken.
" Ok I guess I should just destroy him then."
" That's What I Said!!"
Turning around Ryoga blinked as the purple haired boy was missing.
" Uhn where did he go?"
Chuckling Ranma looked to his left where his sensors told him the boy was.
" I guess he's over there… somewhere…"

Roshi Island
It was a weird feeling, one of the few she has ever experience one that caused her to worry and shiver in unconscious fear and excitement.
\\ What is this… feeling… it's the same feeling I had when 17 returned…//
Looking out in the horizon, 18 frowned at the feelings that was welling up within her.
\\ Whoever it is…//
" Hey what's up? Are you ok?"
Looking over to her husband 18 smiled, he was getting older and older, while she hasn't age one bit, but she didn't marry him for his looks but for his caring nature and the way he makes her feel.
" I'm ok krillin its just…"
Frowning Krillin adjusted the waist of his brown slacks and walked beside his wife his now gray hair blowing in a slight updraft.
" You can tell me if anything is wrong dear…"
Sighing, 18 looked at her frowning husband and gave a nervous smile.
" Forget about it… love, I was just thinking about 17, that's all…"
Blinking at that, Krillin nodded and replied.
" I see… don't worry too much about your brother, if you want, you could wish him back…"
" No… it is better if he stays where he is…"
Shrugging as he started to walk towards the sleeping Roshi, Krillin replied.
"Well don't feel too bad about it, and Marrin should be dropping by later."
Smiling at the name of her daughter, 18 nodded and took one last look at the horizon, before walking towards her husband.

Satan City
Sighing as he exited the building, Trunks looked around and frowned as he was greeted with the crowded streets of Satan City.
" Oh this is just great…"
" So you decided to wait on us, good."
Blinking as he heard the comment, Trunks turned around and frowned as he saw the two androids.
" So are you going to run off again, or are we going to play?"
Smirking at Ryoga's antics, Ranma looked over the purple haired boy.
\\ he is not classified in the file… but I can tell he's hiding his true power…//
Frowning Trunks looked at the android that was trying to start a fight and growled out.
" Ok if it's a fight you want, follow me!!"
Grinning from ear to ear Ryoga replied.
" Well I don't think I want to follow you… maybe we should fight here."
Blinking at the answer, Trunks mentally cursed the android before him and answered.
" I can't stop you from fighting here, but whoever you fight it wont be me…"
Raising an eyebrow at that Ryoga replied.
" Is that so?… well I would like to prove you wrong…"
Blinking as Ryoga teleported and then punch the purple haired boy in his face, Ranma groaned in irritation.
\\ Idiot, if we fight here it will obviously create a spectacle which will attract more of these fighters…//
" Ryoga, take this somewhere else!!"
Ignoring Ranma for the moment, Ryoga continued on, teleporting away from the purple haired boy before his punch could land.

Nerima
Smiling as she entered the dojo, Pan immediately took a seat at the entrance and watch the sparing match that was currently going on.
\\ Wow Reiko-Chan has really improved in her sword forms and chi manipulation…//
Glancing away from his grand daughter, Genma smirked as he saw the mystery of his life walked into the dojo.
\\ Hmmm that girl is really an enigma, how can one child have so much energy within her… and the fact that she hardly have any skill in the art but could wipe the floor with all of us is rather grating… if only I could find out her secret…//
Smiling at the girl for a moment, Genma once again paid attention to the two heirs of his and Souns school.
++++++++++++
Dodging another sword slash from her child hood friend, Midori Tendo went on her offensive.
\\ Lets see you counter this…//
" Demon Fist!!"
Blinking as Midori's fist started to burn with pure Ki, Reiko started her counter for the move by charging her boken with chi while rolling under the attack, leaving her friend open for her attack.
" Ankoku Geneishuu!!"
Blurring as she started to pummel Midori with kicks, and then finishing the technique with an modified uppercut with the boken leaving her opponent unconscious on the dojo floor.
" Wow that was great Reiko-Chan… but did you have to use that technique…"
Smiling as she turned to her friend, Reiko giggled nervously and replied.
" Uhn… hi there Pan-Chan… I didn't mean to use the full technique… but you know what would have happened if Midori was to use her special attack…"
Smirking at his Grand Daughter, Genma interrupted the two friends.
" Ok that was a good sparing match Reiko, but could you and Pan bring Midori to her room."
Blinking Reiko faced her Grand Father and bowed.
" Hai Sensei…"
" I would love to help out Mr. Saotome."
+++++++++++++++
Satan City
Snarling as his opponent once again ran from him, Ryoga glanced at the yawning Ranma and growled.
" I'm going to rip that punk apart and then I'm going to finish my lunch, and after that I'm going to find my self a nice girl and and…"
Blinking at the now flustered Ryoga, Ranma pointed to the now disappearing dot and asked.
" Aren't you going to follow him?"
Looking at the direction that Ranma pointed, Ryoga blinked and then blinked again.
" …"
" … Idiot…"
Shaking his head as he started to float over the ground, Ranma looked at Ryoga and snorted.
" Lets go take care f him."
Frowning at Ranma a bit, Ryoga stood his ground and asked.
" What did you call me?"
Confused Ranma asked.
" Huh?"
" You heard me, What did you just call me?"
" Ahh come on Ryoga he's getting away…"
" No Saotome!!, ever since I've known you, you've walked all over me, and I'm not going to stand for it!!"

Gero's Secret Lab
{ Number 01 is experience a malfunction, unable to detain, sending number 02 to detain number 01, equipping with needed information and needed equipment to fix problem…}
{ Releasing capsule hatch in 3… 2 … 1… hatch has been released, Android 02, Alpha project has been awakened… State mission parameters…}
Looking at its hand then the flashing screen, Android 02 answered with no emotion.
" Parameters, to locate 01, take off line and return it to base, assist 00 until 03 and 01 are in working order…"
{ Mission parameters are known…}
Blinking at the computer, Android 02 made its way towards the same route taken by 00 and 01.
\\ Leave it to that idiot Ryoga to get emotionally unstable and disrupt his logic centers…//
+++++++++++++++++
Satan City: Outskirts
Frowning as he glanced behind to check on the androids progress, Trunks came to a halt with an even larger frown on his face.
" They didn't follow me?…"
" It would be foolish of me to go back, but I have to let Gohan, and Goten about this…"
++++++++++++++++
Kami's lookout
Frowning at the scene that was unfolding, Dende moved to where he felt Krillin and 18.
" This is bad … more Androids… and I can tell they are more powerful than cell… and the others…"
Looking up from the book he was now reading Popo frowned at this new information.
" What happened?"
" Trunks was confronted by two new androids… but thankfully they aren't attacking anyone…"
Concerned at this, Popo asked.
" What about Trunks, is he alright?"
Nodding his head but obviously not paying attention, Dende sighed and looked towards Popo.
" I'm Worried Mr. Popo…"
Frowning a bit, Popo sat down on the ground and seem to think for a bit.
" Are you worried that, without Vegeta's strength or Goku, that the others might lose?"
" That is part of it but… my other concern is 18…"
confused and surprised, Popo asked.
" Why are you worried about Number 18?"
" The last time we encountered Androids, hell bound 17 and earth bound 17, she almost joined there side…"
Frowning a bit but not as confused as before, Popo looked towards a flying butterfly and replied.
" That may be true Dende… but she didn't, I believe she love Krillin too much to ever leave him to join the androids … and with the love we have shown her, I doubt that she would want to go back to her old way of life…"
Smiling a bit, Dende looked at his Mentor and Guardian and replied.
" You're right Mr. Popo, I guess I worry too much. But I still hope that every thing will workout…"
\\ At times like this… I wish Piccolo was here…//
" It is your job to worry about this world Dende, Just as it is mine to advise you."
++++++++++++++++
" You didn't have to use a special technique, It was only a Sparing Match!!"
Chuckling as she scratched her head, The red head beauty that was known as Reiko looked at her friend Pan for help.
" hehe… I know but…"
Sighing at Reiko, Midori looked at the red heads dress and smiled.
" Is that the one that we saw in that Chinese store?"
Looking down at the blue Chinese dress that she was wearing Reiko smiled and picked up her glasses, And replied.
" Yea it is but they didn't have it in gold so I took this shade, isn't it just beautiful."
Looking at the Chinese dress that showed Reiko's growing femininity an maturity, Pan smiled.
" It's Lovely Reiko-Chan, and it goes well with your eyes."
" Thank you Pan-Chan, But these glasses really takes away from the outfit"
( AN: Reiko's glasses are basically the same type as Fuu, from MK Rayearth)
Giggling a bit, Pan shook her head and took her friends hand.
" Reiko-Chan I think you should look in the mirror more often, Those glasses makes you even more beautiful and exotic."
Giggling at her friends antic's and sparing match forgotten, Midori walked over to her bed and asked.
" Hey guy's maybe we should go to Satan City's Mall, I bet we could get some killer outfits!!"
Smirking at the Idea, Reiko answered.
" That would be great, lets go now."
Smiling, Pan nodded her agreement before she realized something.
" Could you guy's wait, Sakura-San promised me she would tell me about that guy in the picture."
A bit confused, Reiko and Midori asked.
" Who?"
"Who?"
"You know, …I think his name was Ranma Saotome."
Blinking at the sudden rise in Temperature, Pan looked towards the source.
" Uhn… Midori? …"
Glaring at Pan for a moment, Midori sighed then asked.
" Why do you want to know about him? "
Curious about this revelation, Reiko asked.
" Uhm who is Ranma? And why is he Saotome if I never heard of him or seen him on the family register?"
" I can answer that question…"
Turning around the three girls were greeted by a smiling Akane."
" Grandma?"
" Auntie?"
" Mrs. Tendo?"
+++++++++++++++
" Ok Ranma… Prepare yourself…"
Frowning as Ryoga started to increase his power, Ranma asked.
" Your malfunctioning aren't you?"
" I aint malfunctioning Ranma!! I'm just tired of your Face!!"
Dodging the blow that was intended for his face, Ranma countered with a spin kick which was swatted away by an obviously angry Ryoga.
" First you put me through hell."
Once again Ranma went on the defensive, Blocking the punch and kick that came simultaneously.
" Then you steal the girl I love!!"
Flying away from Ryoga, Ranma frowned as his friend glared at him with hatred.
" Ohh this is just friggin great Ryoga, leave it to you to let your freaking stupidity get the better of you, How the hell you override the Dr's Programming I don't know, but you gotta stop this…"
++++++++++++++++++
" Ranma Saotome was my intended when I was age 16…"
" You don't have to do this mom… I know you still…"
Smiling at her daughter, Akane shook her head and continued.
" Ranma was Genma's and Aunties first child…"
Blinking at this information, Reiko looked at the picture of the young man and frowned a bit.
" I have an Uncle… but I never heard of him…"
Frowning, Midori looked at the picture and snorted.
" I'm not surprise, he's a cheating Bastard!!"
Shushing her Grand Daughter, Akane continued.
" You see, me and Ranma went through a lot of stuff, battles and adventures, quarrels and laughs … it came to a point where I actually believed he loved me… and I him…"
Listening intently, Pan watched as the different emotions played out on the woman's face.
\\ It's my fault she's talking about all this… me and my big mouth…//
" Anyway to cut a long story short, One day Ranma my sister and elder Cologne's Great granddaughter went missing… and all was left was note by Ranma…"
Frowning, Sakura patted her mother and continued the story.
" The note said that Ranma was tired of The Tendo's and Akane, and that he really loved Nabiki and Shampoo, it also basically said that anyone that followed them would be killed…"
Gasping at this, Pan asked.
" Who's Nabiki?"
Frowning a bit Akane answered.
" She was my sister …"
Blinking at this, Pan and Reiko both made a understanding sound.
Standing up head bowed low, Pan started.
" I am sorry for bringing up this conversation and causing you to face a pain which you would most likely want to keep away from… Gomen …"
" It's ok Pan-Chan, it is good for one to be able to look back at moment like these and see there struggles…"
++++++++++++
{ Number 03, it is time for you to assist number 00 and 02, the mission parameters of the Chaos program is on hold until number 01 has been… restored to it's original program}
" Understood…"
Smiling as she entered the light, Purple hair reaching the floor number 03 giggled as she thought about the fun she was about to have.
