Disclaimer: Much to my chagrin, I do not own Ranma ½ or pokemon in any way, shape, or form. I am only borrowing these magnificent specimens for my own pleasure in writing, and for the pleasure of my readers to well, read about. They should be returned in great order, except for a few selected members of the NWC that is. The performance of the pokemon used in this fic will not be based on what is said through the anime/manga. Instead, their performances will be based on their stat-growths in the gameboy advance games. Ex.) An Alakazam will be much faster than most other pokemon.

Just before I start this story, I'd like to say thank you to all of you readers/reviewers. In the time since I released the prologue of this story it has seen over 700 hits and 13 reviews (including ones not sent through this website.). I'm glad to see so much interest in this story and I hope I can continue to produce such interest.

Now, I'd also like to thank you for being patient. My life took another turn for the hectic. (insert sweatdrop here) My father recently had a disease of his take another down hill turn so he got me to take his place at his work place doing odd jobs, which in result is making me busier then ever before.

Now before I go back to the story I'm going to quickly post a few comments/questions for your reviews.

From: Peter Kim ()

I would like to see a prequel about this fic and this fic should take during the

end of Pokemon AG and Battle arc that is coming up or the manga-Pokemon

Adventures after the current events.

Ok now, I've never read the pokemon manga or watched this pokemon ag before. I have a layout of what I want the history behind this fanfic to be but if someone can send me info on either of these things I might consider bending the history around a little bit in order to fit into the manga or anime.

From: Silverscale ( http/ )

Very interesting, what kind of matchup are you going to use? My right arm is

broke so I am having a hard time writting reviews since I am righthanded.

I'm sorry to hear about the arm Silverscale, and I hope it gets better soon. Anyways, as for your question, the match up for Ranma in this fanfic will not be any character from the Ranma ½ cast.

Again I thank you all for the reviews. Now on with the story.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This morning breakfast was a little quieter than usual. Ok, so that's a big lie. It was quiet enough that all you could hear was the muffled chewing of the table's occupants and the steam rising off of Akane's head. The sound of the steam surprisingly sounded like a kettle.

The peace was finally disturbed with one of Akane's infamous battle cries. "HENTAI-NO-BAKA!" This was accompanied by another loud splash and the voice of a tomboy grumbling about cheating creatures from another world as she climbed out of the koi-pond.

While this was going on, Ranma just sat back and chose to enjoy his breakfast for the first time in a long time. He wasn't worrying at all about his father stealing his food. As a matter of fact, said panda was too busy watching Kei as he effortlessly outmaneuvered Akane, and proceed to use her own force to send her into the Koi pond. If he were to think about it, he would have recognized that Kei was using Aikido on Akane. Soun as usual was too busy reading his newspaper to realize what was happening to his little girl. Kasumi and Nabiki were watching Kei with interest, the later trying to think of ways she could make money off the new addition to their home. Nodoka was just ignoring the going-ons. (She had lots of practice with this when it came to ignoring Ranma and Akane's slight disagreements.)

A short time later, Nabiki stood from the table throwing him his backpack. "Well, we better get going Ranma." Upon Ranma's skeptical look Nabiki rolled her eyes at him. "You may have been gone five years Ranma, but you must remember that here it has only been a day and that you haven't graduated from high school yet." She finished this pointing her finger at Ranma.

Ranma quirked an eyebrow at her, then nodding, finished up his breakfast in two quick gulps before he got up motioning Kei to follow.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As is known by many, Ranma is a person who is able to turn nearly anything into a form of practice. Nabiki was staring oddly at our pigtailed friend. The reason has to do with his usual form of training that he does on his way to school. As for what it is he is doing let me ask one question.

If you've been doing the same form of training for several years and it was becoming too easy for you, then what would you do?

In Ranma's case, what he has done about that is to take the training up another notch, or two, or three. Heck, I can't even begin to think how many notches he must have taken his training up to get to this step. What he is doing, is the following.

Ranma is up on the fence. He is riding a unicycle, backwards, juggling his textbooks and pokeballs (this is a total of twelve objects). He also has Kei, who is wearing his cloak, doing a one-armed handstand on his head while he is facing forwards, who is also holding up Ranma's lunch with his feet.

"Now I know you're showing off Saotome."

Oh and did I mention that Ranma was riding backwards and chatting with Nabiki as well.

"Nabiki, I'm ashamed." Ranma put the back of his right hand to his forehead in a hurt gesture. "Whatever would make you think that I'm showing off?" At that point Ranma put on his most annoying grin, all the while continuing juggling with one hand as he did this.

Nabiki's only reaction was for her to stop for a few seconds while her eyebrow began to twitch again.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Hey, Nabiki?" Much to her annoyance there was that grin again.

"What is it Saotome?" She turned her eyes back to the wheeled Saotome as he jumped from the fence back to the sidewalk without breaking his juggling pattern.

"Kuno is still after me isn't he?"

"Do you even have to ask?" She was surprised to see Ranma stop and lean cross-armed against the fence with Kei getting off his head and adopting the same position.

"Then how about this. I want you to go ahead of me into the school and set up a betting pool." He looked at her seeing a look that told him to continue. "I don't care what the odds are, but I want the betting to be on a fight between Kuno and a mysterious fighter who is out for revenge against him."

"I'm guessing that you're either going to disguise yourself or have Kei here fight him?"

"Not at all." Ranma replied. "I'm not going to tell you who it is, but I will mention that it is one of my Pokemon who has wanted a chance against Kuno ever since hearing about my life here."

Nabiki looked thoughtful for a few seconds before voicing her thoughts. "Alright then Saotome, I can do that. I must ask though. Shall I say that this mysterious fighter was trained by you?"

"Nope." Ranma replied with a shake of his head. "All that I want people to know about this fighter is that he studies a style that rivals the Anything Goes style."

"Interesting."

"Now this is what I need you to announce on the PA system."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Akane was fuming. After Ranma's return with that perverted creature, she has not been able to land a single one of her righteous strikes on neither Ranma nor Kei. To top it all off he left early to school for a change with Nabiki. She couldn't believe the gall of the pigtailed martial artist. To claim that he was in another dimension that had those so-called pokemon creatures in it. She was certain that he just bullied some perverted old man into playing a prank on all of them.

For all anyone was able to tell, she was fuming over Ranma's disappearance.

As class was about to begin, the PA system beeped on.

"Good morning, I'm sure you all know who this is."

Hearing the voice Akane becomes confused.

"Today I've just got two announcements for you all just before class begins. First one, free of charge, is that Ranma Saotome is not dead. It seems that he was only lightly injured by the explosion of two days ago, and will be back tomorrow."

At that announcement people around Akane broke out into whispers.

"And the second announcement isn't really that, but a public challenge to one, Tatewaki Kuno for after school at the soccer field. Conditions will be discussed at the field prior to the fight. Thank you everyone, and enjoy the rest of your day."

As the PA system shutdown the voices rose in earnest.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As Nabiki was walking back up to her classroom on the third story she caught sight of Ranma just off to the side of the soccer field under several trees talking to two figures. She was certain that the one wearing a cloak was Kei. The second figure she couldn't tell who or what it was. Squinting her eyes, Nabiki noticed that the second figure was about half Ranma's size and had extremely dark skin.

'That must be one of his other Pokemon.' She thought to herself. Looking for another few seconds she wondered why she didn't notice a certain body part of the creature. She shook her head. 'If this doesn't make Kuno think that you're really the foul sorcerer then I don't believe anything else will.'

With that thought she continued walking back to her class.

As she reached her classroom she stopped for a second taking on a thoughtful pose which quickly was accompanied a grin, just before she put her mask back on and entered class.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Outside under the trees lining the soccer field, Ranma was indeed talking to two of his Pokemon. "Alright then Tsuno, you now know how Kuno fights, and I want you to use the battle plan that I have explained to you ok?" With one clawed hand, the pokemon saluted. "Good. I'm just giving you your orders now since you won't fight back against an opponent unless I give you orders. I've still got to convince you to stop relying on my every word so much." A grin lit up the black/blue skinned Pokemon's face. "Alright then, I'm going to keep you out of sight until after school, ok Tsuno?" At Tsuno's nod Ranma returned him to his pokeball and jumped into the trees to catch some shut eye before lunchtime came around.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

4:00 pm. A ringing school bell could be heard in the background as the scene is looked upon by a whispering crowd as it gathered around the soccer field looking to watch the match that was to take place between Kuno and the mystery challenger. Nabiki had of refused to give out details on who the challenger was, saying that a notice of challenge was just sent to her the previous day. Said Tendo daughter and her lackeys were fluttering around the crowd taking bets as all eyes were upon the sight of a cloaked figure who appeared to be chatting with the resident martial arts champion, Ranma Saotome. Among the fluttering cloak that the figure was wearing the people were able to recognize some distinct black leather gloves that covered what must have been the largest hands most of the students had ever seen.

It was only a few minutes more before Kuno walked out of the school carrying himself with a look of a warrior already victorious. Upon reaching the field he finally looked to Ranma and the cloaked figure before deciding to finally address the one he figured was his opponent.

"Greetings stranger, I am Tatewaki of the noble house of Kuno. It is to my understanding that you sent a challenge to thy noble self through means of the mistress Nabiki?"

"He did no such thing Kuno." Ranma answered from just behind the cloaked figure.

"Shut thy mouth foul sorcerer, for it is not you that I am addressing this glorious day of my impending victory." The cloaked figure gave a snort which earned chuckles from the crowd.

"I am aware that you are addressing my friend here Kuno. The two things you should know though are that not only is my friend incapable of speaking Japanese, but he is not the one who issued the challenge to you." Nabiki smirked to herself, having figured that out already.

"I sent the letter of challenge for another friend of mine who will be out in a short time." There was more whispering among the crowd. "However, I must say that the question is not who he is, but rather what he is." Nabiki began to think that Ranma must've been going crazy. "And after spending some time learning, I have found out that knowledge of such things are common and I have no doubt that more then a few of you will be swarming me with questions after this challenge is over." As he finished saying this a huge grin could be seen threatening to rip Ranma's face in half.

"If this naïve is not the one who will be fighting my glorious self, then bring out the impudent fool who thinks he can stand to my divine blade." Kuno finished his sentence pointing his boken at Ranma."

Ranma was only able to continue grinning at Kuno. "As you wish Kuno, for it is you who will be facing retribution this day."

'Since when did Ranma learn to talk like Kuno' was the thought running through everyone's heads.

Turning and bowing to the onlookers Ranma spoke. "Then without further ado people, I'm proud to introduce to you the challenger of this match, Ookii Tsuno." Finishing the announcement with a wide sweep of his hands towards the tree behind him, a ball burst forth from the branches doing flips through the air and landing with a skid before Ranma.

The first thing that could be noticed other then the fact that it wasn't human was the height. The figure only stood up to a height of just under five feet. Its feet were long and slim with a single claw digging into the ground. Its body was a shade of dark blue that looked like it belonged on a certain type of bug. Its arms ended with two sharp looking claws that looked to be made for digging. Its eyes were a bright yellow color, and the most noticeable features on the creature was the large horn that had two antennae on either side of it.

The creature spread its leg apart and angled his arms going into a stance that to those who knew it were able to recognize it as the horse stance that Ranma himself used when fighting offensively. It looked at its opponent and announced itself.

"Heracross."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Within the audience, only fifteen percent of the population of Furiken was able to make the creature out for what it really was. Among this small percentage stood a single freshman whose eyes weren't fixated on the creature like all the others were. He was among the few of the male population who could be referred to as smart. At a height of six feet himself and with short black hair cut into a mushroom cut he would of stood out anywhere else, this was Furiken however, so only the truly unusual stood out here. He was curious about the Heracross that stood in front of all of them, but he had questions that would have been deemed more important. The most prominent being 'How the hell did Saotome get such a creature?' He pushed his glasses a little further up his nose and looked over at the amused looking Ranma. The schools expert on Pokemon swore to himself that he would get to know the martial artist much better.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"What is the meaning of this?" The wonderous mind of Kuno strikes again. "First you disappear off the face of the earth for a day, and now you have returned with a demon." He looked over at Ranma. "Nevermind, it is not important. It is just the proof of your sorcerous ways. I will just have to slay this creature, and then you. Then the Tigrous Akane and my Pig-tailed goddess will be free to show me their love at last."

"Thank you for reminding me Kuno. We must set the stakes for this fight."

"There is no need for such things, for when I win my two beauties will forever be free from your control."

"Alright then, if you win I'll release my so called control from Akane and your so-called Pig-tailed goddess. If I win however," Among the audience Akane was fuming mad. How dare Ranma speak like he did own her? "you will abandon your pursuit of Akane, your pig-tailed goddess, and my head. The best thing for you though, is that all you have to do is beat Ookii Tsuno here, and you win the challenge. Before you interrupt me, I will not be using any sorcery in this battle. I am only a spectator as are all the rest of the students here. Nabiki, if you'd care to announce the start of the fight. I do not think Kuno here would take likely to me being the judge in this battle."

Nabiki blinked. This was a new one for her. "Ok Saotome, I'll play ref."

"I agree to this as well. Though the foul mistress Nabiki is always finding ways into my wallet, her judgment is always fair in such contests."

As they were speaking, the Furiken Pokemon Expert (I'll just call him FPE until he is properly introduced) was just reaching the spot where he guessed that Ranma was going to move to for the battle to come.

"Alright then," Ranma said "before the battle starts, let my other friend and myself move out of the way from the battle. We wouldn't want Ookii to lose to a technicality." At that Ranma and Kei turned and briskly walked over to sit in the shade under the tree Ookii jumped out of, where the FPE was already sitting quietly.

"I'm guessing you trained that Heracross yourself Ranma." It was simply a statement that Ranma recognized it for what it was.

"Of course. I take it that you know a fair bit about Pokemon to recognize it for what it is.

"That is correct Ranma. I was wondering though how you managed to get Pokemon as well as where they came from."

Ranma looked over at FPE and took a quick scan of his Ki. Determining that there was no Ill intent in the fellow student, Ranma decided that he might as well confide the truth on him.

"Do you swear on your honor never to repeat what you are about to hear?"

FPE looked over at Ranma from where Nabiki was about to start the fight. "Alright Ranma. I, Akira Hana swear on my honor that what you tell me concerning your Pokemon will not leave these lips without your permission." Ranma nodded.

"Alright I trust you, but I want to watch this fight so you'll just have to wait at least until it's over."

Nodding his head Akira turned just as Nabiki gave the signal to start.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

With a drop of her hand and a call of "Sou!" ('start' for those non-japanese) the two combatants charged.

"With the wrath of heaven on my side I shall smite this abomination in one blow." Upon reaching Ookii, Kuno did his standard downwards slash. He did not know what hit him but all he knew was that his righteous weapon was somehow turned into slivers and the creature was now behind him.

What happened there was that Ookii Tsuno unleashed the first of his Pokemon special techniques as Kuno brought down his weapon. The Fury Attack. Using this technique which is akin to the Katsu Tenchin Amaguriken, he quickly reduced Kuno's boken to slivers, before quickly sliding between Kuno's legs. Standing up he quickly charged his horn with Ki and it began to glow a near-blinding white to those watching. Kuno being the idiot he is turned towards his opponent getting blinded by a pulse in the white glow. This was only the start of the second technique that is known as the Megahorn. This technique is the strongest technique that any bug pokemon is able to unleash. Being the target of such a powerful attack that was finely toned under Ranma's tutelage, poor Tatewaki didn't stand a chance. With a call of "HERA----CROSS." Kuno was rammed by the horn and sent flying backwards at a speed that shocked most present.

Back under the tree, Akira blinked at the sight of the flying Kuno and looked over to the bored look on Ranma's face. Putting two and two together he asked a simple two word question.

"Holding back?"

"Do you even have to ask?"

Looking back to the unlikely non-damaged flight path of one Tatewaki, one wouldn't know that Kuno was recently sent flying through the area. That is however until they looked to the cratered outer wall of the schoolyard a good sixty meters from where he stood before. Kuno was imbedded into the wall in the center of the crater looking amazingly like he wasn't even touched except for the black burn mark in the center of his Hakama (Samurai styled clothing/gi). Racing footsteps were heard and revealed to be Ookii Tsuno the Heracross coming to the last ten meters of his dash towards the imbedded person.

Kuno looked up to the Pokemon and unleashed one of the lines he is famous for. "I fight on."

It was this time that Ookii reached Tatewaki and unleashed the third set technique in his memory. The one technique designed to break through barriers that impede him from his target. The Brick Break. A technique that composes of three carefully aimed strikes that destroy the foundations of a barrier that prevents him from reaching his target. This barrier however had his target within the barrier itself. One closed claw strike to the right shoulder, another closed claw strike to the left shoulder, and a horned head butt to the center of the forehead ended the fight by launching the unconscious kendoist through the wall and into the center of the sidewalk on the other side.

Ookii waited patiently as Nabiki jogged over to the broken wall and looked through the hole to see Kuno unconscious on the other side of the wall. Looking back through the wall with a quirked eyebrow at the smug look on Ookii's face she began to wonder if all of Ranma's Pokemon tended to showoff like he did. Coming back the rest of the way through the wall she stood next to the Heracross and announced that Ookii was the winner by knockout. To the credit of the audience it only took five seconds before they recovered from the shock of the whole battle and erupted into a cheer to the bowing pokemon.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Under normal conditions, Ranma's martial arts skills would allow him to make his way through a crowd with very little to no trouble. When the crowd is intent on getting answers out of him like a mob of Nabiki's with a goal however, then it takes him approximately an hour to work his way through the mob set on getting answers. That one hour later, Ranma stood on the roof of the Tendo dojo catching his breath with the tired forms of Kei and Ookii lying down next to him. Ranma was still prepared though when Kasumi came outside from the porch and called Ranma down to see a guest who was waiting at the front door. With a call of thanks Ranma leapt from the roof and walked around the house to greet the guest at the gate.

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see you here Akira."

"Nope, you know that you promised to tell me what was going on once the battle was over, and I'm fully intent on collecting on that promise." Akira replied while wearing a smirk that Ranma thought belonged on Nabiki's face.

"Sure, just climb the ladder to the roof and I'll be up there in a minute with another person that I think should know about all of this as well." With that, Ranma entered the house, as Akira ascended the ladder to the roof.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(Inside the Tendo Kitchen.)

Ranma poked his head into the kitchen looking for the one person he knew would be in here at the time preparing dinner for the family. She was currently cutting up some vegetables.

"Kasumi-san?"

"Yes, Ranma-kun?" She replied while wiping her hands on her apron.

"My friend Akira is here to catch the story on what happened to me while I was gone for those two years, and I was wondering if you'd like to join us on the roof. I'm just hoping that Nabiki didn't decide to bug the roof. I don't want her knowing this stuff yet." Ranma was smiling as he said this.

"Oh my, sure Ranma-kun. Just give me a few minutes and I'll be up there." With that she went back to cutting the vegetables that were spread out on the counter as Ranma went back outside.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

On the roof of the Tendo Dojo were four huddled figures. Akira, Kasumi, Kei, and Ranma. Akira and Ranma were just finishing up filling in Kasumi on what happened earlier that day after school.

"That's so cool." Kasumi said in a voice that sounded like an excited schoolgirl.

"I would have to agree with you there Kasumi-san." Akira replied.

"Ookii is the only pokemon of mine that still refuses to act without orders. He was actually given to me by a friend whose Heracross wanted to train with me. Before I get more into that though I think I should tell you two the story of what happened to me two days ago."

"Woah, woah. You mean to tell me that you've only had these pokemon for two days?" Akira asked.

"Two days in this world that is. I was actually caught in an explosion involving a few magical artifacts a few days ago that ended up flinging me to an alternate reality where these pokemon existed. I spent five years in the other world. I actually had amnesia when I first got there. If it wasn't for the friends I made there then I would have never recovered my memories and later on get back here. Well either way, if you two have the time I can go into a more detailed account of what happened." Ranma finished saying this smiling at his two friends.

"I have no problem with it."

"I'm sure the others can wait a few hours for dinner. I'll just go and tell the others that I'll be out for a bit."

"Maybe you should also tell Akane not to go into the kitchen."

With that the three chuckled a bit as Kasumi climbed down the ladder. (1)

(1) Surely one would think that Akane's cooking would be a legend in Nerima.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(Meanwhile Across Town)

In the Nekohanten, the elder of the Joketsuzoku was finishing putting away ingredients for the days cooking when her senses tingled at her and she watched as a portal opened in the alley through the back window. Hopping over to the window and opening it, Cologne watched as four figures walked through the portal and began talking among themselves. Cologne decided that discretion was the better part of valor in this case and chose to listen in on their conversation.

"Well that was fun." An older teenage girl with bright orange hair started. She was wearing a yellow shirt and blue shorts. She was also wearing suspenders. Her athletic build and height of 5"8' suggested that she was a common traveler.

"I must agree love. That was quite fun though if you give me a few more seconds I might be able to recover." This was said by a black haired boy who wore a red hat with a steel plate on the front of it. He wore a white t-shirt underneath an open navy blue jean jacket that also had those steal plates adorning the forearm sections of the jacket. To top off his choice clothing, he wore blue jeans along with red and white sneakers the same as the orange hair girl did. Cologne noted that he carried himself like a trained warrior. She knew that she'd have to keep an eye on him.

"Jeeze you two. Quit using excuses to cuddle and just do it next time. You know that we were better trained then to get disoriented by something like that. That was mild compared to the time we were caught in that exploding factory." This was said by another older teenage male who had a spiky orange hair style. He wore a black leather jacket over top a black T-shirt. He wore black jeans and was wearing plain white sneakers.

A giggle from behind them stopped the eminent argument between the two males. The three looked back to the fourth person who had waist length blonde hair. She wore a modest white T-shirt that had a picture of a Delcatty's face on it underneath a light blue vest. She also wore a knee-length skirt that left enough leg revealed to give lesser men (cough Ryoga cough) a nose bleed. On her feet was a pair of slippers much like Ranma's.

"Gary, Misty, Ash. You know that now isn't the time to argue." With those words coming from the voice that seemed curiously angelic to Cologne, the three others slouched their shoulders. "Besides Ranma would probably make all of you undergo his extra training if he knew what you were about to do." It was this time that Cologne decided to step in.

"Yes, Angela." Chimed in three voices sounding subdued.

"Sorry to interrupt young ones but if I may ask what your business with Ranma is." She chose to refer to him by name this time just in case these people knew about her. After all, they apparently knew him.

The blonde girl turned to look at Cologne with mild surprise in her eyes which quickly went away. "Oh, I'm sorry. We didn't realize that you were there." She smiled down at Cologne. "Ranma is the only one who knows the full story but to sum things up, we're here to visit our friend. He was in our world for a while and now we're on our way to visit his home, and maybe help him tie up some situations that were brought to our boss's attention."

"Alright then. If you young ones want I could lead you to the Tendo dojo where he lives."

"That would be greatly appreciated, thank you elder." The blonde one said as she and her three friends bowed to her.

As she bounced back into the restaurant, she realized that whatever was going to happen now, it would change things around here forever.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

End Chapter 1

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A/N: I thank you all for being patient with me. As said at the beginning author's notes, I have been very busy and I hope you all can forgive the large time gap between the release of the prologue and this chapter. Things are finally starting to settle down a bit for me, so I'll probably have a bit more time to commit to writing and I'll probably be working to fix out another few ideas that are in my head. I probably won't seriously work on those though till I'm much further along in this story.
