Review Answers
Mibu Onikage- Yes the others will appear. Also if you recall form Robotech the SDF-1 crashed in 1999. Also I'm mixing in other animes so I had to change the pas at little but not much. Like Mikaze being introduced. Instead of the war. Earth was being threatened by a giant comet shower which is from the anime she is form.
Bobboky, Calamite, Dumbledork, Mystery Person, Slade13, Ar-Kaos, SHAWN PROVONCHA, RubberNeck and Jerry Unipeg - Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Sanjiyan- I'm following the books and anime more then Lisa's fic which is a great fic and I read it also. But there are several things between the two fics that are different. Akane is still alive in her fic while in mine she is dead. Also in her fic Ranma curse is active with cold water and extremely hot water. In mine Ranma locked his/her curse.
ranma-tomoe- Never heard of that story. I was trying to come up with a name I haven't seen yet in a Ranma/Robotech cross. Don't worry about me dropping a story. I have ways of dealing with people like that. Akane may be dead but her cooking isn't.
Iceman- Your making me blush here. Thanks for saying that.
chrono 9999- I'll give a look into their pasts in a few side stroies.
John Tannius- Kasumi's past 3 years will be shown in a side story to be posted in a future chapter. Also i'm kind of have this Ranma as a non cannon one.
AshK- Ya I have for Ranma I'll not say yet but its not Kasumi or a man.

Chapter 2- Reunions
I didn't know what my friends would say after they found out where I had gone off to instead of going to college with them. I was scared but they didn't seem to care. Now I see why our bond is so close to one another.

February 2009- Macross Island
Ranma followed by her squad enters the White Dragon. " They open in a few minutes so we should be the first ones….. OOF". Ranma is tackled by a speeding blue blur. "Hello Minmei it's nice to see you again."
Mikaze raises an eyebrow. " Why is she so affectionate to you Ma'am?"
Ranma sighs. " Just call me Ranma I don't care about you all calling me Ma'am or boss or anything else. But I'll let Minmei tell you why."
Minmei nods. " Ok. HEY UNCLE MAX …. AUNT LENA CAN YOU PLEASE COME HERE." A kind of chubby balding man and a tall thin female with her brown hair done in a bun come in. " Uncle Max …. Aunt Lena this is Ranma that I told you about. She is the one that saved me from that one guy last week."
Lena smiles and hugs Ranma. " Thanks for saving my niece from that guy that tried to rape her."
Ranma shakes her head. " Its no big deal all I did was come up behind him while he has bothering her and kicked him in the nuts and put some handcuffs on him and left him tied to a post till the MPS arrived."
Max shakes his head. " No Ranma we have to reward you. Who are these ladies?"
Ranma smiles. " My squad. I'm their leader I just got the position today. We make up Angel Squad."
Max and Lena talk to themselves while Minmei smiles. " Congratulations Ranma you deserve it."
Max comes back over. " My wife and I talked it over and since we own this restaurant we decided that from now to this day forth Ranma and her squad can eat for free at the White Dragon when ever they want."
Umi blinks. " Why us though?"
Lena smiles. " Because you are her squad and it will be mean for us to let your boss eat for free and not you all also and we will not take no for an answer."
Ranma and her squad talk for a minute and they all smile and say at once. " We gladly take your offer."
After a big meal Minmei hands Ranma, Minako, Umi, Kasumi, and Mikaze a card that reads The holder of this card is a member of Angel Squad and hereby gets to eat free. And at the bottom it's signed by Max and Lena and under that it has their names in English and next to it says owners of the White Dragon. Ranma looks over to Umi and Minako. " Its time for our little meeting. You can wait for me outside my room. I don't have an office yet." Umi and Minako nod and walk off to the barracks. " Mikaze...Kasumi… This will take about an hour or two so you guys have some free time. Meet us in the hanger… lets see. " She checks her watch which reads 1:00. " Its 13:00 (1pm in army time) so meet us at 15:30 (3:30pm)." With that Ranma heads off.
Mikaze looks at Kasumi. " Wanna go to the gym back at base and work out a bit?"
Kasumi nods. " Ok I didn't use to like working out but its become a little habit of mine lately."
Ranma's Room
Ranma is sitting cross-legged on her bed with Umi and Minako across from her in some chairs. She had made sure the door was locked before sitting. " Now like I said your not in trouble all I'm looking for is an answer to the question I will ask you and the answer will not leave this room and only be between us three understand?" They both nod. " While I was reading your profiles it said while you where being tested the machine picked up some weird readings with you two. Now it did the same to me and its because I'm a ki user. Now since it got the same readings on you two it means you can use ki or magic. I don't think its ki because you don't look like you had any training in it so it must be magic. Like I said this will not leave this room so who wants to explain first?"
Both Minako and Umi looks a bit worried before Umi speaks up. " I will."
Ranma nods. " Go ahead Umi."
Umi sighs. " Well it all started 4 years ago when I was 14 and on a field trip to Tokyo tower with my class." She goes on to tell how she met Hikaru Shidou and Fuu Hououji there and how they got pulled into the world of Cephiro and goes into the adventures they had there and how they became the Magic Knights. She tells of the battle with Zagato and then with the very ruler of Cephiro … Princess Emeraude. She then tells of the events that followed the next year and how they helped find a new Pillar of Cephiro (the one that rules the planet and keeps it intact by her will). " It turns out Hikaru was the new pillar and her wish for the pillar system not to be used anymore. So Cephiro became a normal world and we returned back home. Ever since then we have not been back to Cephiro." (If you would like to see the full story of events watch Magic Knight Rayearth and Magic Knight Rayearth 2.)
Ranma nods. " I see Umi." She turns to Minako. " Now its your turn."
Minako gulps and mutters to herself how Setsuna will be mad at her for this.
Elsewhere
A girl with long green hair and red eyes sneezes and wonders if a new threat is going to appear and is making fun of her.
Back to Ranma's room
Minako smiles a bit. " Well I guess I had to tell at some point. While my story isn't as long as Umi's you probably use to see it on the news. I too am a magical girl... Sailor Venus of the Sailor Sensei. Until a few years ago I helped keep peace in Juuban. We killed the final enemy who was a treat to earth.. But you see after the RDF was formed Sailor Pluto told us the time gates no longer showed her anything and as far as she could tell the great freeze would never come. So basically we had nothing to go on and started to go our own ways. Pluto was upset about this and said how we were abandoning the dream of Crystal Tokyo and frankly I had enough of Pluto and I smacked her across the face and told her the no one wanted it in the first place and that she was pushing it on us. The others where shocked at me and I told them I was leaving so I did. Sure they tried to stop me but I left on an extremely early morning flight so no one was there when I did."
Ranma nods." Like I said this will not leave the room and I ask because I've noticed that ki can be used to effect the speed of the Veritech. I've started to test out trying to form ki into attacks to be used. I'll be training you all in useing ki as well as Kasumi and Mikaze. But also in a few private lessons I wanna try to train you to use your magic to channel attacks also."
Umi looks confused. " Is such a thing possible?"
Ranma nods. " Yes because of the helmet we wear we are basically the computer for the Veritech and as such if we channel our ki or magic into the Veritech it takes it as it's own and as such lets us do new things."
Minako smiles. " If I can use my magic with the Veritechs in a fight with aliens again I'm all for it Ranma."
Umi nods. " I'm in also. It will be good to be able to use my magic off Cephiro for once."
Ranma nods. " OK tomorrow we begin the training now lets go meet up with the others its almost 15:30."
Umi and Minako nod and together they head back to the hanger.
A house in Tokyo
A man with short brown hair is sitting on a chair with a photo of Mikaze. " Daughter I wish I knew where you are. Your older sister, your mother, and myself worry about you. Its been a year since we last heard from you."
A girl with chopped up blond hair walks in with a man in a RDF uniform behind her. " Dad this guy has something for you. I'll just leave you two alone."
The man walks up to the dad and salutes. " Hello Mr. Honjo its been a while."
Mr. Honjo smiles. " Yes it has Kramer. So how have you been. You're a Captain now huh?"
Captain Kramer laughs. " Yes it has. I was sent to give this to you while I was in town. H.Q. faxed it to me along with a notice... I'll be taking over as wing for Roy Fokker. His own wing was given her own squad."
Mr. Honjo laughs and takes it. " You take care of yourself old friend. Can you stay for dinner?"
Captain Kramer shakes his head. " No I have to return to duty in the morning but it was good seeing you again."
Mr. Honjo nods. " You too my friend." He shows him out and looks back and sees his wife and eldest daughter behind him.
His wife looks at the paper in her husband's hands. " What is that dear?"
Mr. Honjo looks it over. " Its an invitation for me to go to the launch of the SDF-1 and take a V.I.P. tour of it."
The daughter looks it over. " Who is it from dad?"
Mr. Honjo looks it over. " It seems that the one that invited me wants to remain anonymous."
His wife looks at it. " Guess you will be leaving us soon hun."
Mr. Honjo smiles. " Yes but it will not be for long."
Tokyo University
Ami Mizuno, Ukyou Kuonji, Hikaru Shidou, Fuu Hououji, and Nabiki Tendo stare at the paper given to them by a uniformed man.
Ami looks at the other 4 girls. " Did you all get invites to the SDF-1 launch also?"
Ukyou nods. " Sure did but no idea who sent it."
Hikaru nods and brushes some of her red hair out of her face. " Same here wonder who did."
Fuu looks it over again. " Says we will meet the person that invited us before our tour. So we all going?"
Everyone nods.
Ami smiles. " It's a good thing we have the week off so I don't have to worry about classes."
Fuu stares at Ami. " Ami you already finished your nursing classes and are certified as a nurse now."
Ami nods. " I know but I still wanna be a doctor."
Hikaru groans. " You hurt my head with thinking Ami."
Ukyou laughs. " You sound like a boy I use to know Hikaru."
Nabiki just stays silent and nods when they ask her if she is going and wonders who sent her this invitation.
Two weeks later
Hikaru, Fuu, Ukyou, Nabiki, Mr. Honjo, and Ami step off the plane they were on and are greeted by 5 girls in uniforms with hamlets on with dark visors blocking their faces. The one of the left steps forward. "We're the pilots of Angel squad and have invited you here. Each of us know you and its time to show you who we are. I guess I'll go first." She takes off her helmet and lets her red hair fall out. " I Ranma Kinomoto formally Ranma Saotome have invited you Ukyou Kuonji." She gets tackled by the girl.
Ukyou hugs her. " Its nice to see you again Ranma." She looks around and whispers. " So you came here and why are ya female?"
Ranma whispers back. " To get away from my fathers promises I'm a girl full time now but we can still be friends right Ukyou?" She gets a nod in response and hugs her.
Nabiki is surprised that Ranma is here and wonders who invited her when she sees a pilot approach her. " And you are?"
The pilot smiles and takes off her helmet. " I am your sister and have invited you here."
Nabiki hugs her sister. " Oh sis I've missed you so much. But the RDF?"
Kasumi blushes and looks away. " Yes. I've changed over the years."
Ukyou looks up to Kasumi. " Nice to see you again."
Kasumi nods. " You too."
A pilot approaches Mr. Honjo and takes off her helmet. " Hi father."
Mr. Honjo hugs his daughter. " I've missed you so much and so has your mother and sister."
Mikaze raises an eyebrow. " Sis misses me? That's something new. I wish I could have contacted you but what I am doing now has been top secret till today."
Mr. Honjo nods. " I understand child."
A pilot walks up to Hikaru and Fuu and takes off her helmet. " Hi Hikaru …. Fuu I've missed you two."
Hikaru and Fuu group Hug Umi and cry on her shoulders. Umi pats their heads. " I missed you also but I just had to follow my heart and it led me here instead of college."
Ami looks at the final pilot. " You can't be….."
Minako smiles and removes her helmet. " Yes I can Ami-chan. You're the only one I trust enough to invite here without causing trouble or I would have invited the others also."
Ami wipes some tears from her eyes and hugs her friend. "Minako we have all missed you and I think Setsuna is still a bit mad at you but she had it coming."
Minako giggles. " Yes I know."
Ranma smiles and clears her throat and tosses the black out helmets away. "I'm the squad leader and I've been training your friends and family well. Now lets go to the galley for some breakfast since we have time before the tour and ceremony starts."

Chapter 1
The fighters pull onto the runway and the soft wine of the engines turn into a roar as each one launches from the runway. As Minako's gets ready to take off See notices Sailor Pulto appear in front of her plane and smiles. " Die Setsuna!" her fighter races forward making said greenhaired sailor scout eat dirt with tire tracks on the back of her fuku. Minako jumps out and jumps up and down on Setsuna's back. " DIE DIE DIE."
Setsuna lays on the ground not moving and Randa smacks her self in the head and twiches her tails. " CUT! Why was Setsuna on the set."
A stage hand pokes his head in. "She said she wanted to blow up the SDF-1."
Randa groans. " Well she is dead now. Clean up the set and get ready for take 2."
Ranma sweat drops. " I'll be in my trailer."
Next take
The fighters pull onto the runway and the soft wine of the engines turn into a roar as each one launches from the runway. As Ranma's move forward to take off a beaten and slashed Panda-man falls onto her Veritech it blowing up on her and Ranma sitting on the ground in a daze. " What hit me?"
Randa growls. " CUT! Who threw Genma out here beat up like that?"
Nodoka raises her hand. " He was hitting on me even and knows i hate him I guess i went over bored."
Randa grins evily. " Oh well Looks like I'm having roast panda for dinner to night." Looks at her crew. " CLEAN UP THE SET NOW!" Laughs as they rush off to do so.

Hikaru nods and brushes some of her red hair out of her face. " Same here wonder who did."
Fuu looks it over again. " Says we will." She watchs a white rabbit hop by. " I must follow the white rabbit!" This causes everyone on set to face falt.
Randa gets up off the gound. " CUT! Where did that rabbit come form?"
Usagi pokes her head in. " Sorry thats mine."
Hikari goes into her catgirl form. (She looks like a cat girl when she gets excited alot)" OOOO its so cute!"
Ranma screams and points. " CATGIRL! not as bad as cats but still... WHAAAAAAA!" She runs off threw a wall."
Randa bangs her head on her tabe next to her chair. " Take 5. Someone fix up that hole and get miss I'm not scared of cats anymore back here." She leans back in her chair and sighs. " Well atleast I'm a kitsune and she isn't afarid of foxes."
