A/N: From this point on, when Ranma and Nabiki interact with their counterparts, there will be an S before their names to symbolize that they are the Sliders.
In Ranma & Nabiki's home dimension, in a hotel they frequented, four travelers woke up, in a familiar yet constantly different large hotel suite, with hangovers. Taichi held his aching head up as he surveyed the others, also showing signs of discomfort and pain
"What happened? Umm, who has the timer?"
One by one, they got up and began searching, first themselves, then the room. "Damn," exclaimed Shun. "I can't find it but I hope we never go to another world like that last one. I totally freaked out, man. I could swear I saw an anime character." The two guys snickered, but Misaki's eyes went wide. "Um guys, Shun's right. We did meet an anime character." The guys blinked. Misaki said calmly before she screamed.
"We gave the timer to RANMA SAOTOME!"
A portal opened dropping a male and a female into a field. After picking themselves up and finding out they had only an hour before the next slide, they went to move, but before they could, they heard Nabiki's voice shout
"WILD HORSE"
Ranma and Nabiki looked around and saw a little ways away Akane tear into a few guys while Nabiki and Kasumi were nearby watching. Ranma saw that something was off. 'I need to confirm my suspicions.' Nabiki turned to say something when she saw him run forward and start attacking Akane.
'I was right' he thought before yelling "Nabiki my thermos."
Nabiki wondered who this boy was and why he was talking to her, then she and Kasumi saw a girl who looked exactly like her appear and toss a container to the boy who just jumped over their little sister pouring the contents on her head causing her to grow into a man who looked like the boy who jumped over her/him then the guy in the dress grabbed his male double after he landed.
"Thank you, thank you, thankyou!"
"No problem, let me guess. You arrived at their house in your girl body, and because you looked like their sister, they refused to believe you when you tried to explain about the curse. They thought their sister was going nuts and so they had you hypnotized."
"Yes and, thanks to them and Dr. Tofu, it's been a year since I was a guy" Ranma stated before turning to the two Tendo sisters and yelling:
"Now do you believe I'm not Akane?" Both nodded as SRanma asked his counterpart
"Is the Doc still there?" when his counterpart nodded he added "Then lets go there."
As they walked, Kasumi told them how two years ago they went to China, and while there, Akane disappeared. While they searched for her, their mother got sick forcing them to return home; however, a month after returning home, she died and then a year ago their baby sister came back but was claiming to be a man. At that point, as they knew the rest, she split off from the two sets of twins and went home.
"So while you were in China, Akane must of somehow ended up at Jusenkyo where she fell into and made a new spring of drowned girl, but because she drowned, doesn't mean that she's dead. She was probably found by either the Amazons, the Musk or maybe the Phoenix." SRanma stated
"What makes you think that happened?" SNabiki and Nabiki asked at the same time
"Because our Akane was drowned by the Phoenix so one of their people could use the spring to take her form and try to kill me." SRanma then explained
When they entered the clinic, Dr. Tofu turned to greet them but stopped when he saw another Ranma and Nabiki enter behind their counterparts who after explaining how the Jusenkyo curse works and demanded that Tofu remove his hypnotism. After he was done Nabiki turned to the Ranma in the school girls uniform.
"So you are really not our sister?"
"No, I'm not, but after a year of being your sister, I feel like I am."
"For what it's worth, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Oniichan."
"Ranma" SRanma turned to SNabiki "It's time."
"Right, we have got to go."
SRanma and SNabiki left the clinic and went into the alley as Akane (having got some cold water) and Nabiki exited the clinic in time to see a blue light appear, then disappear after a few seconds. "Let's go find your" Akane(Ranma) frowned and shook her head "our sister." The two then headed for home.
In another world, a traveler now separated from his friends wonders how he ended up not only in Japan but in a familiar situation. He was stranded on top of the observation deck of Tokyo Towere as a huge shark started coming towards the tower. His timer beeped signaling it was time to slide. He opened the portal, and as he jumped, he saw another portal open and he started wondering if it wasone of his other friends who he left behind, another version of Quinn (Qball) who had just started sliding, the Kromaggs or someone else.
As his portal closed as Ranma landed on top of Tokyo tower, while Nabiki missed and started to fall towards the ever-rising water. Fortunately Ranma was quick enough to grab and pull her up to the top of the observation deck.
The shark jumped up, and with a yell of "MOKO TAKABISHA, blood sprayed outwards as a hole appeared in the shark. "That was too close" Nabiki exclaimed as she looked down then looked at Ranma when she heard him yell
"CRAP! How long?"
She looked at the timer. "Two minutes, why?" Ranma pointed out to where several fins were heading towards them. The two minutes passed and sharks were very close when she opened and jumped into the portal followed by Ranma.
