Epilogue

Ten years later…

"Come on, Ranchan!"

"Coming!" Ranma Blue replied to his wife as he carried his two-year old son Taron on his shoulder. Beside him in pretty red and blue sundresses were their twin daughters, Norika and Yurika, both eight years old. As they walked toward the picnic tables at the family reunion in the Amazon village, the elemental twin smiled at the people who were waiting for them.

Ranma Red waved to them as he held his Amazon wife close to him. Shampoo smiled as she cradled their infant daughter Shanma in her arms. Playing near their grandmother Nodoka and great-great-grandmother Cologne were their two other daughters and son: Jasmine (age nine), Lily (age seven) and Soren (age five).

The Chosen Twins had insisted that their first-born sons would carry the names of the first champions of Earth. They both smiled as they saw their former mentors approach them with their own wives and families. When the Contract had ended, the first Chosen Twins were then given back their mortality, allowing them to age normally again. Their magical and elemental abilities were of course stripped as the present Chosen Twins were decreed by Kami-sama to be the only mortals with such powers. In the past, the powers were always taken away when the Contract Renewal was completed, so that they may be passed on to the next champions. However, with the Contract over and done with, the kami of Heaven had decided to let the Ranma Twins retain their extraordinary abilities for the remainder of their mortal lives. The two former immortals had no regrets as they began to live as humans again.

However, they still retained the vast martial arts skills they had learned over the millennia and it didn't take the Amazons long to start chasing after them. Fortunately, the Amazons they had defeated and married had proven to be love matches. Taron had gotten himself hitched to Silk, while Soren had a wonderful relationship with a warrior maiden named Sash. Both were now the proud fathers of two children each.

Also present at the Masaki family reunion were Tenchi, his two wives Ayeka and Ryoko (apparently the heir to the Jurai throne was required to take two mates), his grandfather Yosho, Tenchi's father Noboyuki, Washu, Kiyone, Mihoshi, Kasumi, Dr. Tofu, Akane, Nabiki, and Soun Tendo. Other honored guests were Urd, Skuld, and Belldandy with her new husband, Keiichi Morisato. It seemed that Urd had finally succeeded in getting the two of them together and with the approval of Kami-sama himself, the two were wed late last year. Belldandy was now three months pregnant. Of course, they did not mention that they were goddesses, nor that Belldandy's child would be a demi-god.

The festivities went on for some time as family and friends talked about their lives and futures. The Amazon village was constantly bustling with various activities and shows as the day wore on. As the sun began to make its way toward the horizon in the west, Ranma Red sat with his brother on the roof of his house.

"So how's everything with you, bro?" Ranma Blue asked as he watched the colors of the sky become vibrant with yellow, red, and orange.

"Couldn't be better."

"What about the Musk Dynasty? Have they been giving you any problems?"

"Nope. Things have been going more smoothly after I made them sign that peace treaty."

The Musk Dynasty had depended very heavily on the Springs of Jusenkyo. When it had been destroyed, the Musk had decided to attack their ancient enemies, the Joketsuzoku. That had proven to be a big mistake. Ranma Red had defeated the entire dynasty with his magical and martial arts skills and even humbled their prince, Herb, who was descended from a dragon. He had then given the Musk a choice. Either sign a peace treaty with the Joketsuzoku, or be REDUCED to pieces! Since then, Ranma Red had worked to keep tensions between the ancient enemies from erupting into conflicts. He had encouraged trade and even helped a few members of the Musk attain lasting relationships with the Amazons. Intermarriages between the two peoples began to appear over the last decade. When the Phoenix God Saffron appeared, Ranma Red had the power of Heaven, the Amazons, and the Musk behind him, and the bratty divinity didn't stand a chance. When Kami-sama told the godling not to trifle with the peoples of the land, Saffron had no choice but to back down. Ranma Red's display of concern for all cemented the alliance between the Musk and the Joketsuzoku.

Ranma Red had also begun teaching the Amazons the ways of magic. Though he did not teach them what he had learned from Soren, he did help them rediscover their own lost mystic arts. The Joketsuzoku had accumulated a considerable amount of magical knowledge, but much of the information had been lost over the centuries. With the Light Star Blade as his guide, the magical twin began filling in the gaps to their magical archives. It wouldn't be long before Shampoo's people would once again become the mystic warriors of legend. The Amazon village had also been attacked by the army of the People's Republic of China, but Ranma Red had reduced several divisions of tanks and artillery to scrap metal. It wasn't long before the Chinese Army and government took the hint and left them alone. After all, they too had seen that last great battle against Sharoka. When they saw Ranma Red in the flesh, they decided that ticking him off was a bad thing. Since then, Ranma Blue's brother had been working on several enchantments to protect the Amazons from any future attacks.

"So, how are you, Ukyo, and the kids?"

Ranma Blue shrugged as he said, "Great! Couldn't be better! Ucchan's planning on opening up a new chain in America."

Ranma Blue had also kept busy in the last ten years. His elemental powers gave him an understanding of nature and he had been working on several environmental projects. Places such as the Amazon Rain Forest, wildlife preserves, and the ozone layer took up a lot of his time as he slowly began to restore them. He had also been helping out as a goodwill ambassador to the alien races on the planet.

"So I hear that Dr. Tofu and Kasumi are going to have another baby soon." Ranma Blue commented.

"Yeah, who would've known that Tofu's madness was caused by being possessed by a minor imp. "

"It's a good thing you exorcised it from him. I thought that those two would never get together."

"How about Nabiki? Is business going well?"

"What do you expect? I think she's about to make her seventh billion."

"Yeah, well she's really got to get out of that office more often. In any case, Akane is taking over the Tendo Dojo since her father has started considering to opening up another one in Juuban."

"So, has she gotten better than when we last saw her?"

"Uh huh. With Cologne's training, she's gotten to the point that she could beat the old Ranma Saotome with one finger. She'll make a good martial arts instructor."

"I didn't mean her martial arts skills. I meant, you know… emotionally."

Ranma Red smiled as he said, "Akane just told me this afternoon. She's getting married!"

"What? Really? Who's the lucky guy?"

"She met up with a guy named Shinosuke in a hidden valley and things just went from there. They're planning on having the wedding next year and she wants both of us there."

"We'll be there, no problem!" Ranma Blue then chuckled. "I'll bet Kuno will blow his top when he hears about this! That is, if they'll let him out of his padded cell. I can't believe that he's still after Akane after all this time."

"Yeah, well after Akane got him on charges of harassment and had him sent to the asylum, I don't think we have anything to worry about. Maybe the marriage will knock some sense into that thick skull of his!"

"At least Kodachi got better and saner after we gave her the facts. I hear she's now modeling the latest in gymnastics wear."

"Speaking of old headaches, have you heard from Happosai? Ever since he was released by Kami-sama from the Realm of Infinity, he just vanished."

Ranma Blue shook his head. "I haven't heard anything, though I doubt he'll ever trouble anyone again. Taron told me that his experience with the Dark World had left him with a shattered soul. He'll never be the martial artist he was, thank goodness. Not even his perverted ways could restore him. I think that when the Dark World controlled him, it permanently damaged his psyche."

"A pity. He was a pain in everyone's neck, but I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone."

"How about Mousse and Ryoga?"

"Well, I heard that Mousse married a nice girl in America. As for Ryoga, I haven't the slightest idea where he might be. I guess when we told him to get lost ten years ago, I guess he got lost for good. Considering what Akane said to him that day, I really can't blame him."

"Well, he's got no one to blame but himself. If he had told Akane about being P-Chan in the first place then, he wouldn't have ended up as badly as he did. Same thing goes for Genma. If he had just taken responsibility for those crimes he committed, then all those problems wouldn't have happened. Now he's paying for those crimes. Do you know that the Tokyo Police finally caught him?"

"Really?"

"Uh huh. All those acts of petty crimes had finally landed him in prison. I went to see him and make sure that he didn't try to escape. Turns out that the prison wasn't going to have any problems with keeping him locked up. He was nothing more than a pathetic wretch when I saw him. He wasn't even a martial artist anymore, but a dirty, fat, and absolutely pitiful excuse for a human being. He was so far gone that he didn't even recognize me. It looked like divine justice was working again so I just left him there."

Ranma Red nodded as he remembered all the bad things that Genma had put the both of them through, which by far outweighed the good. As of now, the chapter concerning their father was now and truly closed.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the two Ranmas looked up at the night sky as stars twinkled in the distance.

"Blue?"

"Yeah, Red?"

"We've accomplished a lot of things so far and we are among the most powerful people on the planet now."

"Yeah, so?"

"When we were allowed to keep our powers, I couldn't help but feel that the Kami aren't through with us yet."

Ranma Blue considered his brother's thoughts and then slowly nodded. "You know what, I think you're right. But then again, it's always been our Dual Destinies."

Up in heaven, Kami-sama smiled knowingly. There would come a time when Earth will once again need the Chosen Twins.

THE END

This is the conclusion of it all. It's also the first great Ranma fic I've come across which inspired me to do some writing of my own. This and Tekkadread were what got me started on my Ranma Club fic. If my readers recall back in the chapter where the cast wind up helping out the Sailor Senshi, those two twins who prevented Sailor Pluto from doing anything to Ranma and the Winx, yes, they're the Ranma Twins of this story.

Please leave reviews on your thoughts and Tekkadread Remastered (highly recommend the read) as I hold both in high regard! In the meantime, will try to finish up more Nihao My Winx.
