Loopy
It was chaos. The drowned boy water had been stolen, bombs were being tossed like confetti, and fights were breaking out among the guests as well as the wedding crashers.
A flash of light heralded the arrival of another Ranma, this one glowing with power, that seemed barely restrained as lightning crawled over his form unnoticed by him. "Ranma Saotome, I have come for you," he said, his aura of command silencing everyone.
"Who are you?" Ranma asked nervously, his white tuxedo still smoking from a close encounter with a flour bomb.
"You, or rather a potential you," the other Ranma explained. "We are caught in a time loop and after countless repeats we've gained too much power to remain mortal, but by ascending to godhood we'd destroy our world, so I had to come up with a work around for myself and others in my situation."
"A work around?" Ranma asked cautiously.
"Yeah, to save the universe filled with people there needs to be someone looping," he explained.
Ranma instinctively held out his hand for the other to smack.
"Tag, you're it."
Bells rang and trumpets sounded as Ranma watched his other self dissolve into light, blinding everyone.
His mother's guest, Setsuna whimpered and rubbed her temples like she'd just gotten the mother of all migraines.
Then reality blinked.
Or at least that's what it seemed like to Ranma as he found himself standing on a bamboo pole as a panda wearing a Gi jumped out of the water.
"What the?" Ranma said just before the bear kicked him into a pool of water and he felt a familiar shift.
