Chapter 64 It's Ranma Time!
It was morning as Bruce Wayne enters the living room of the manor and found Selina sitting on the couch in front of the TV, sitting next to her was their daughter Maxine with a bowl of cereal in her lap. Selina had been taking care of Maxine ever since she used that spell that took out Jeffro. She's been spending most of her time lying around the house watching TV till she fell asleep. She was barely eating as she spent most of her just sleeping; both he and Selina were worried about her.
"Morning," Bruce said to them.
"Hi dear," Selina said to him. "Going to work today?"
"Yeah," Bruce said. "Got to attend some meetings with the board."
"By the way the rest of the family dropped by," Selina said as three other people were in the room with them.
The first was the first Robin, Dick Grayson who now went by the name of Nightwing. (1) The youngest in a family of acrobats known as the "Flying Graysons", Dick watched his parents, John Grayson and Mary Loyd Grayson, murdered by a mafia boss to extort money from the circus that employed them. Bruce Wayne who was there at the show takes him in as his legal ward.
Sitting next to him on the couch were Barbara Gordon known as Batgirl. And Tim Drake who had returned to the city to recover his strength and pride after his defeat at the hands of those women along with the rest of the Teen Titians. He was still weak from the energy drain and would take awhile for him to be back at full strength.
"Selina already explained how Maxine here came to be," Barbara said as she looks at Maxine who had fallen asleep.
"And when I first heard about you having a child with Catwoman I was really surprised that you would have a child with someone you regularly fight," Dick said.
"Took me by surprise," Bruce said.
"Yeah since you fainted when she told you the news," Tim said.
"As if you're one to talk," Selina said to Tim setting Maxine's bowl on the side table. "You're the one who let yourself be beaten badly by a bunch of naked women."
"Well…," Tim said as he blushed from the memory of those busty bodies bouncing and pressing against things and people as they fought him and the other Teen Titians and company.
"So much of a boy already," Barbara said to the now second youngest member of the Bat family.
"True," Selina agreed.
"Way to go and show the others how much self-control you have," Dick said.
"Don't remind me," Tim said, ever since that fight and when the others recovered enough from the energy drain to start walking, the girls of the Titans and visiting X-Men threw the male members out of the tower saying that since they couldn't control themselves seeing a bunch of naked women they had no reason to stay. That was the reason that Tim was now back in the city.
"Still sour that the girls threw you and the other guys out of the tower?" Dick asks.
"Like you're one to talk," Tim said glaring at Dick.
"Well," Dick said seeing the footage of the fight and had to admitthat had he been there he wouldn't be able to fight at his best as those women during the fight bounced and jiggled about.
"Why can't you two be like Bruce," Barbara said in a deadpan manor.
"True," Selina said.
"Well I'll be going now," Bruce said. "Call me if there's any updates."
"Right," Dick said.
"But I wouldn't get any hopes up as we still have no idea who merged the worlds together," Barbara said. "But on the bright side there's little crime happening since those women started taking out the villains and with so many heroes around now we can now take turns patrolling the streets."
"That's true," Tim said.
Maxine yawned as she opens her eyes. "Why not ask Mr. Mixleepick he knows."
"Mr. Mixleepick?" Selina ask wondering what her daughter meant.
"Mxyzptlk," Bruce said realizing what Maxine meant.
"Wait isn't that the imp that used to mess around with Superman?" Dick asked.
"The very same," Bruce said.
"Maxine how do you know him?" Selina ask her.
"He and Impossible play with me," Maxine said.
"Mr. Impossible the alien who can change and do the impossible," Tim said.
"If those two are working together" Barbara said. "Dear god."
"Bruce, I'll handle the JL business you have other business to handle," Selina said getting up.
"Right," Bruce said. "Call me if there's trouble."
"What about us?" Dick asks.
"You three watch over Maxine," Selina said as Maxine once more fell asleep. Both of the adults left, Bruce leaving for work and Selina heading down to the Batcave.
"Great. Stuck babysitting," Barbara said as she grabs the remote and flips through the channels. She finally stopped flipping and watched some news to see if anything interesting was happening. Both her and Dick were enjoying a segment with a replay of the defeat of the Teen Titans much to the dislike of Tim when something very strange appeared on screen.

At the Daily Planet -
Clark sat at his desk as Lois leaned over his shoulder looking at what he's typing. They had been going over all of the sightings of the women who have been draining energy from people and objects trying to find a pattern to their attacks. Lois who knows who Clark really is was busy trying to figure out what those women goal was. All they have been able to gather was that Jeffro was the powerhouse of the group and that he was stronger then any of the foes they had ever fought. Then there was the redhead woman who appeared with some of those Rei sisters who kicked the butts of the Teen Titians and the otherkids with them.
"The Rei sisters are feeding all of the energy they have been stealing to one person?" Lois repeated what Clark just said.
"That's what the Watcher told us," Clark said. "But that's the only thing he told us, after that he went back to his base."
"Big help there," Lois said.
"Reed did say that the Watcher never interferes and him telling us what the Rei sisters were doing was a rare thing for him to do," Clark said. "Now all we can do is wait for them to make the first move and not fall for the same tricks."
"The networks are having a field day with how the kids were beaten," Lois said to Clark knowing what he was talking about with the Titians.
"Not one of their best moments," Clark said.
"How would Superman handle himself fighting against a bunch of naked busty women?" Lois asks staring at him.
"Well," Clark said trying to think of an answer at the same time thinking of a way of evading the question. "How about the story you're doing on Bruce and his family?"
"I'm still trying to figure out how to write it," Lois said. "I'll just wait for him and his wife come up with the story."
The phone started ringing and Clark picks it up. "Hi, oh it's you we were just talking about you… What? Alright pass the news along."
"Who was that?" Lois asks as he puts the phone down.
"It seems that an old friend of mine knows why the worlds merged together," Clark said.
"Who is it?" Lois asks.
"Mxyzptlk," Clark said surprised as he hadn't heard from him in a long time.
"Did someone said my name?" the imp in question said popping out of nowhere.
"I should have known you had a hand in this," Clark said.
"Now, now bucko I can't take all of the credit," Mxyzptlk said.
"That's right! I helped!" the green alien known as Mr. Impossible said popping up as well.
"What's going on here?" Perry the chief of the news network asked walking up to the scene.
"Perry meet Mxyzptlk and Mr. Impossible," Lois said. "It seems that these two know what's going on around here."
"Really?" Perry asked the two small cosmic beings.
"That's right we do!" they said together.
"Well what is it?" Jimmy asks taking picture as everyone in the room gathered around the two trickers, one of the camera crews were already filming.
"Well we could but we won't," Impossible said.
"Instead we'll introduce the opening of this show!" Mxyzptlk said as a title bar suddenly appeared that said, 'Marvel/DC: Project Mad' and then theme song music began playing as an image appeared on every TV and computer screen in the building, and was now playing on the news networks.
It's
Alright! Now, let's move forward. There's always a burning sun in our
hearts.
Transferring Power through our clasped hands, let's catch
hold of our desires.
The image of two Earths slowly merging was shown, being pushed together by two hands. And the title reappears again as the two earths merged completely together.
I envied the strong person who was able to throw
a ball so far that it went out of sight, and wanted to become a like
that.
Softly, like calm water I want to be stronger than anyone
else!
Like when I was small.
Isn't it strange, my tears are
falling
A man dress in armor appeared walking an endless road. His face was cover with a metal helmet, and a visor covering his eyes design like an old Roman style helmet. He wore a white colored sleeveless body armor with yellow outlines that also has on large dome shape shoulder guards. It was smooth and curved so that an attacking weapon would slide off of it. Underneath it he wore a long sleeve red shirt and blue pants, a small blue half cape hang from his left side. He carried a weapon a large sword that's strap onto his back.
The man looks upwards as a shadow flies over head, above him was a man with white hair dress in white, riding a horse sizes flying white cat. The man had a blank look and big eyes that were like a doll's eyes completely emotionless look, under both of his eyes are two black dots that made it look like he has more then two eyes. The way his shoulder length hair and tall pointed hair look, gave his head a triangle appearance. His outfit looks like a white colored clown costume and his hands look more like a cats then a human.
It's
Alright! Now, Let's move forward. There's always a burning sun
in our hearts.
When storms come, Let's stand shoulder to shoulder
and look at the light from before.
If we gather the shards of
our dreams, they will become a map for the future.
And so, Let's
stand together under the same flag, and catch hold of our
desires.
A screen shot of heroes of both worlds were flash on the screen. From the JL, Avengers, X-Men, Shield, and group shots of heroes that weren't part of any group. The last image showed was Batman along with his partners but there were two others showed, a furry Catwoman and a small girl who was a combo of both Catwoman's and Batman's costumes.
I'll keep
believing in the future, not caring if anyone laughs at me
The
passion running within you makes you shine
It's too dazzling, but
I want to keep watching you
Somehow, sensing those aesthetics
makes me really, really stuck on you
Both Mxyzptlk and Impossible Man appeared laughing as a seven shadowy forms appeared in the background. The only thing that could be made were their outlines.
Chasing, chasing after the one in
my dreams
That is like no one else
With a feeling that burns
like it's kindling the dawn
I don't know yet what the consequences
will be
Instead of these boring times, it's gotta be
dramatic
Until we achieve that, believe in wonderland!
The image of a grownup version of Alice of Wonderland appeared with an all female cast behind her. Many of the men in the room saw how revealing their outfits were and how well built they are.
Don't make fun of it! Don't destroy it! Don't cheapen
it!
That one thing everyone has that they won't give up.
Only
love! Only dreams! Only you!
Those are the only things I won't let
go, ever.
An image of a redhead woman with her back on the screen dress in a skin tight suit on a beach appeared. She clutched a doll. The water she's facing was blood red.
I'm
not afraid of getting hurt!
But I'm not strong any way for
that
Simply, by keeping doing anything,
I don't wanna be
regretting myself!
Here we go! go! I'll keep running
I won't be
stopped by anybody!
I wanna get along... Give a reason
for life
...to the me of the future
The screen was then filled with
dozens of the Rei sisters all dress in white suits like the
redhead before, floating in water. Each of them showed no
emotion like a doll and were all marked with a number. An older
one with long hair face filled the screen, 00 was marked on her
forehead.
Even if an immeasurable darkness
comes towards
me making a dreadful noise,
When tomorrow comes, after I see
someone,
the despair in my heart will be erased
An image of a woman with long brown hair appeared, she's dress in a robe and held a hooked staff. She stared at a huge tree that was on fire as well as the room that the tree was housed in that look like a computer room.
Doing a stronger image of myself,
I find
myself smiling...
I believe in my feelings, it moves me toward
my
dreams more than anything else, anybody else
A young man
wearing a white robe sat on a chair. His eyes were like staring
into nothingness.
I won't be leaning on my goal
even
when I find my way to it
Because surely a new dream
will push
my back again!
Here we go! go! I'll keep running
I won't be
stopped by anybody
I wanna get along... Give a reason for
life
...to the me of the future
A wide screen shot showed the Rei sisters in rows standing in front of the young man in the chair. Standing next to him are the redhead, the long hair Rei sister and the woman that carried the hooked staff.
Picking
up the past
that somebody dropped,
I frantically extended my
hand,
flinging the answer.
A city was shown burning as
a huge purple robot of some kind walk through the burning
buildings. A man dress in a coat stood on a building watching as
the city burn all around him. The faceless metal mask he wore that
covered his entire head reflected the fire that raged all around
him.
There is no satisfaction
in anything that you can
get
Fly away from the void in your entangled heart
The armored man appeared facing off against the Rei sisters as they put themselves in front of the young man. The redhead raised her hand holding fire and the woman held up her hooked staff. The older Rei sister with the long hair appeared in front of the man with her hands glowing.
That's it Make a Treasure
I hear your voice in rusted time
I want to hand it to you now
because I believe
that you are waiting for me inside the light
The young man raised his head and the screen made a close up of his eyes as they shined with power.
We swore one day to build the
future with our own hands
At any cost, on this planet, no matter
where on it you are
And behind the sky, in the tomorrow my heart
depicts,
In that same place, I'll be right by your side once
more
Now the two of us stand with pained eyes and glances
diverted,
But I believe we'll be able to meet again
The man known as Jeffro appeared facing off against the armored man in the ruins of a city. Their weapons clash together as they came together. One of the man's arm transforms into a blaster and fires a powerful energy attack at Jeffro who blocks it with his shield. The last image was the area being consumed in the blast.
Intertwined in this heat, wanting to speak the truth
Who do I protect them from?
This feeling you
wanted so badly once,
If it's there...
A man who was the shadowy figure from before appeared standing on a building looking downwards. He's wearing an open long sleeved purple jacket, blue overalls with the legs tuck into orange color boots. The sleeves were warp around his body that seemed to keep his arms from moving at all. He also wore a green hat that's very tall, with red bands running across it. He wore a pair of yellow lens goggles that hide his eyes from view. His lower face was painted like that of a clown that she has seen as they had traveled across the lands but instead of white face paint it was yellow-green paint covering his lower face. Two blue triangles dotted his two cheeks were the only other paint on his face. Two planks of wood were strapped to his back held by two belts that were crisscrossing his chest under his tied up arms making an X shape on his back. And a tread was on each end of the planks connected to one of his limbs like a string puppet that she seen people play with now and then. His legs were warp with many belts almost hiding his legs from view making sure that the only way that he'll be able to move around was by hopping.
Exposed in a
flickering instant that flew by too fast
I can't reach anything
alone
These mere wishes and fading words...
Down below him were a mass of heroes of both worlds all starring upwards at the man. The man dress as a clown riding the giant cat appeared in the foreground as well as the seven figures hidden by shadow.
Intertwined in this heat, wanting to speak the
truth
Who do I protect them from?
This feeling I wanted so
badly once...
The armored man appeared again in front of the heroes and flew upwards at the clown. A massive wing covered with blue feather came out of his back that seemed to allow him to fly. He held his sword drawn back for a strike as he flew upwards.
It lies in you
The last image was of a close up of the clown's mouth that was grinning. (2)
"What did you guys think?" Impossible Man asked the group with the opening of the show done.
"Mind telling us what was all of that about?" Jimmy asks, as he understood some of it but couldn't figure out the rest.
"And ruin the surprise?" Mxyzptlk said as he and Impossible Man disappeared, leaving behind a room full of people wondering what had just happen.

In New York city -
Ranma without his armor walked down the street as he tried to figure out what Mad Hat had brought him here for. First he had to fight his way out of the underworld by cutting through the gate and found himself facing off with an army of Amazons. After making sure he didn't beat any of them as he didn't want to go through the whole kiss of marriage thing again, Mad Hat had him fight three of his servants. And they ended up destroying some of the surrounding area, with him meeting two of the superheroes. He now knows why Mad Hat gave him that helmet to wear.
'A world full of superheroes,' Ranma thought to himself as he wondered around waiting for Mad Hat to contact him again.
Sighing again, Ranma stretched as he sat on a bench and looked at the TV being displayed on a nearby store as he was resting for a bit. He lay his head back and spent the time reading the energy levels of the area around him with his Ki, almost instantly he sensed some growing power levels heading his way. This didn't surprise him in the least this whole city seemed to be filled with super powered people of one form or another. Over the last couple of days he had gotten better at sensing them. As far as he could tell most of them tended to live rather normal lives and did what they could to make sure they didn't stand out to the general public. Later on, he found out that when they started using whatever their super ability was they stood out even more.
He had used his senses to spot the superhero Spiderman as he was crawling up the side of a skyscraper, what had surprised him was when the guy stopped what he was doing and turned to look right at him for a brief second. Ranma wasn't sure how the guy knew he'd been spotted though and put it down to a well developed danger sense before moving on, it wasn't like he ever planned to meet the guy anyway. After that he hadn't spotted any of the known superheroes of the city, but plenty of mutants and metahumans. One in every fifty people he passed had the slightly different aura that he considered to be a superpowered being, most of them looked basically normal as far as he could tell. Though, the girls tended to have oddly colored hair styles that reminded him of the Amazons. If they had red hair it was bright, bright red that could be spotted in the middle of a crowd.
Speaking of which he's been getting a lot of stares from the women as he passed them, something that he still didn't know how to handle. No matter where or what world he ended up in he would always be a girl magnet. (3)
As he watched the news, he saw someone he didn't expect to ever see again. He got on his feet and looked for a place to change into his armor, as he had an old foe to meet.

A couple of blocks away -
The Bugle was founded in 1897 and has been published daily ever since. The Daily Bugle is printed in tabloid format like its rival The Daily Globe. The publisher of the Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson, who began his journalistic career as a reporter while he was still in high school. Jameson purchased the then-floundering Bugle with inheritance funds and turned the paper into a popular success. Other magazines published from time-to-time include the revived Now Magazine and the now-defunct Woman Magazine.
Right now everyone's attention inside and around the building was on the man standing on a ledge of the building. He wore a light brown coat and tan colored pants. His face couldn't be seen thanks to a skintight metal mask that covered his whole head. The mask was featureless but with hints of outline of a face, as if someone made a mold of a head and left out everything that made a human face.
Spider-Man who was in the building at the time delivering some photos, had quickly changed into his costume and headed out. His danger sense was ringing as he neared the man who acted like he didn't care what trouble he was causing.
"Hi, mind telling me what you're doing here?" Spider-Man asks him.
"I'm waiting for someone," the man said.
"But why are you waiting here?" Spider-Man asked.
"Faceless," the man answers.
"Faceless?" Spider-Man repeated.
"Yes that's what I'm called, Spider-Man," Faceless said.
"You can't stand here," Spider-Man said.
"Why not?" Faceless ask.
"You're causing everyone to look up and stare at you," Spider-Man said pointing downwards where people were all looking up even the Bugle's camera crews were already filming.
"I'm going to stand here till he gets here," Faceless said.
"Sorry about this then," Spider-Man said as he fires some webs at him. But to his surprise Faceless disappeared where he was standing and appeared behind him, before he could turn around he was flung off of the building. Turning around in midair he grabs a hold of the side of the building he was flying towards.
"Not bad," Faceless said over to him.
"Not bad yourself," Spider-Man said as this was one of the few times he found himself facing off with someone who was quicker then he is.
"I can see that with your webs that you fire from your hands and your ability to stick to surfaces that fighting you will be quite the task," Faceless said as he has his arms cross on his back.
"Really now," Spider-Man said hoping that some of the other heroes would get here soon.
"That's funny. I thought you were waiting for me," Ranma said fully dressed for what's coming. He stood on the roof where Spider-Man was clinging to.
"Chaos Horse," Faceless said as he turned his eyeless glaze upwards. "It's been a long time."
"Faceless," Ranma said. "The last time I saw you; I left you lying in a pool of blood, even if you were still alive how could you have escaped the bomb blast?"
"Who ever said I survived?" Faceless said. "Do you really think that you're the only one who could fight your way out of the underworld?"
"You fought your way out," Ranma said.
"Yes I did. All I had to do was wait for someone to open a door to the realm of the living and fight my way to it. I really should thank you for killing me, while I was in Hell I got to sharpen my fighting skills on powerful demons and against the souls of the dead," Faceless said.
"Now that you're out; what do you want to do?" Ranma ask.
"I want to see how strong you have gotten while I was dead," Faceless said as he snaps his blades out for everyone to see.
"Let's take this somewhere else," Ranma said. "Too many bystanders."
"Right," Faceless said snapping his blades back. "You're the one who doesn't like bystanders getting caught in the crossfirer."
"While you never cared who got caught up in a fight," Ranma said.
"True," Faceless said. "But I already told you that I never minded killing."
"There's a building site a couple of blocks away and there's no one there," Ranma said.
"Sound's like a good place," Faceless said. "Lead the way."
"Right," Ranma said as he ran off with Faceless leaping up and ran after him.
"Hey!" Spider-Man said as he went after them but when he reached the top of the building didn't see any signs of them.
"Spider-Man where did they go?" Ms. Marvel said flying towards him.
"They said about fighting in a building site," Spider-Man said."What's going on?"
"I'll explain on the way," Ms. Marvel said as she grabs Spider-Man and flew off.

At the building site -
Ranma who was known as Chaos Horse and Faceless faced off with each other in the site of a building that was going up. Both had their weapons of choice drawn out ready to clash at the moment they begin their rematch.
"Coming all of this way just to fight me again I know you wanted to fight foes that brought you to your limits but coming here?" Ranma ask.
"What can I say it's something that I had to do because it's what I am," Faceless said.
"True," Ranma said.
"Besides you're going to need all of the skills you'll pick up in battles to be able to stand of any chance after you beat Mad Hat," Faceless said.
"You know about the Hats?" Ranma ask.
"Once I broke out of hell waiting for me was Dark Hat," Faceless said
Ranma's eyes widened at the revelation
"He gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. As long as I'm loyal to him and his family once my term of service is up, I get a second life. Who knows in that next life I may be like you."
"I see," Ranma said pointing his sword at his rival. "Now that is all out of the way let us continue where we had left off."
"And you don't have a time limit like last time," Faceless said. "No drunk fighting style."
"Agreed," Ranma said as he had quite the hangover after he used it to beat Faceless the last time they fought.
With an unspoken word they charged together their blades coming together. Faceless had his arm blades locked together catching Ranma's sword between them, both of them In a stalemate. Both knew whomever broke the other's hold would have a free hit dealing the other a deathblow. They pushed against each other as their weapons rattled together as they tried forcing the other back and lose their balance. Their arms strained at the pressure they were being used at and their feet dug into the dirt of the building site getting a firmer hold.
"Think quick!" Spider-Man shouted as he threw a brick
between the two
fighters. Ranma and Faceless quickly broke
apart as they jump back as the brick slammed between them.
"What do you want?" Ranma ask.
"Well umm Chaos Horse I can't just let you two start fighting," Spider-Man said from the top of one of the near by buildings of the site.
"It's between him and me," Ranma said. "It doesn't have anything to do with you."
"Sorry but you two are coming with me to Avenger HQ," Spider-Man said.
"You and what army?" Ranma ask.
"How about this one," Ms. Marvel said as she the active Avengers, Justice League, X-Men, and some of the city's other heroes appeared surrounding the building site either along the fence or flying in the sky.
"The foot in mouth thing," Faceless said as he looks around at the many super and non powered heroes surrounding them. (4)
"I guess I'll never learn," Ranma said signing to himself.

Author's Notes -
1 - I know that he's suppose to be leading the Teen Titians but in my fic Tim Drake is the one leading them.
2 - How do you guys like my intro song?
3 - This is Ranma we're talking about so it really shouldn't be a big surprise.
4 – Some things will never change when it comes to Ranma.
