	Those who are alone and distance usually have a tragic past. They 
need someone to fill the missing parts of their souls.  Be it kin, lover, or 
beloved, we all need someone in our lives.

Story- Prologue

	Ranma Saotome was battling with Ryoga Hibiki. “How dare you 
insult Akane’s cooking.” Ryoga bellowed as he charged. Ranma sidestep 
and launched a counter-attack. “I’m just the uncute tomboy the truth, P-
chan.” Ranma shot back.
	“Stop insulting Akane. And stop calling me P-chan.” Ryoga 
screamed as he once again attacked Ranma.

	In Juuban, a girl with long coal-black hair and pale skin stared into 
a shrine’s sacred flame. Her name was Rei Hino. She looked into the fire, 
her mediation was complete and now she was looking at the images in the 
roaring flame.
	The image of a green hair boy, with the sigil of the moon and the 
sigil of Pluto over lapping each other on his forehead, appeared in the 
flame.
The image turned into a green hair girl with the same two sigils 
over-lapping each other on her forehead. She looked like the first boy; 
maybe she was his sister.

 	After an hour of non-stop martial arts combat, it appeared Ranma 
was going to lose because he stepped on a hole in the ground.
	Ranma stumbled a bit but Ryoga hit him with a Shi Shi Hokodan 
before Ranma could recover. Ranma flew into a nearby wall. He fell to his 
knees.
	Ryoga was ecstatic. He almost couldn’t fire the another ki blast 
because he was happy that he’d finally defeat Ranma. “Bye Saotome.” 
Ryoga said as he released another shishi hokodan.
	Ranma’s eyes glazed over. The image of blond man with pale skin 
charging at him with a sword in his hand. The man wore a gray 
uniform, white gloves, and coldest blue eyes he had ever seen.
	Ranma stood up, still with the image of the man, Jadeite, charging 
at him. A staff appeared in his hand and he pointed it towards the image. 
“Dead Scream.” Ranma said.
	Black energy shot out and flew towards the shishi hokodan. It over 
powered the depression fuel ki blast and slammed into Ryoga. Ryoga let 
out a scream before bring knocked through a wall and passing out.
	Ranma leaned against the metal staff for support. He slowly 
walked away, careful not to further damage himself. What the hell was 
that? Ranma wondered. He learned a new attack on his way to the store 
to buy his black hair dye.
	Ranma looked at the mithril staff in his hands. With was he going 
to do with this thing? For some reason, he couldn’t part with the staff. It 
was as if it was his by birthright. It was a training tool for his real 
inheritance. And why was it shaped like a huge key?
	It looked where, I wish it could vanish for awhile, Ranma wished. 
Then the staff disappeared. A thought occurred to Ranma. He willed the 
staff into existence and it appeared. Then he willed it to disappear again. 
This might be handy, Ranma thought to himself.

	Sailor Pluto looked through the Gates of Time. Altering events to 
bring about the creation of Crystal Tokyo. Then she sensed him. He was 
in the Nerima district. She looked through the gate to where she sensed 
him. A close up image of Ranma appeared.
His hair had been dyed black, but he missed a spot and it had little 
bit of green showing. He tied into a pigtail instead of letting it grow.
But those blue eyes, those of his past life father’s eyes. He was the 
one, he had been reborn. He was somewhere around seventeen years old. 
Just the right age.
Sailor Pluto knew this day would come. Pluto sunk to her knees. 
‘But what if he doesn’t like what I had become.’ Pluto thought to her self. 
She had become a cold and distance person, she was no longer the happy 
and caring woman she once was.
She looked at the Gates of Time. “My son. Finally we will be 
together again. This time, nothing will hurt you.” Pluto vowed.
Pluto regained her composure. She looked back in the Time Stream 
to see her son’s past. To see how he was raised and what kind of man her 
little Ranma was. She smirked when she found out that he somehow kept 
his original name. 

Ranma was turned into Ranko due to the ladle lady perfect timing. 
Then Tatewaki Kuno charged out from nowhere and tried to glomp 
Ranko.
“Pigtail girl. Let us --- urk.”  All what Tatewaki was about to say 
was cut off when Ranko punted him to downtown Nerima.
“I wish that someone would help me with these problems.” Ranko 
prayed. Ranma started to look for hot water again. She wondered if she 
should or shouldn’t dead scream Kuno next time they met.

Sailor Pluto gripped her Time Key tightly. One thought ran 
through her mind. Genma Saotome will die painfully slow.
She vomited when she saw Ranma thrown repeatedly into the pit of 
starving cats while rapped in cat food.
She also nearly when into violent rage when she saw how many 
times Genma had sold off Ranma. The two fish, rice, and a pickle really 
pissed her off.
Then how many times Ranma got in trouble because of Genma’s 
drunkenness got her planning for a Genma’s torturous death. Then the 
‘Spring of the Drowned Girl’ really took the cake.
The only thing that saved Genma from getting a Dead Scream up 
his ass, was the fact that Pluto gained the ability to control her emotions 
a long time ago.
She just arranged things so that he’ll anger the law or Yazuka. But 
Genma will pay for hurting her son.
She continued to look at her son’s present life. He got an abusive 
and violent fiancée that hits him with a mallet. His old friend Ucchan is 
his fiancee and is in love with Ranma. He has an Amazon following him 
declaring that Ranma is hers through Amazon Law. Last of the current 
girl problems is that crazy gymnast Kodachi. Her laugh alone was an 
attack.
Then there was Tatewaki how trying to marry and kill him at the 
same time. Then Ryoga trying to steal Akane and giving Ranma a 
headache along the way by attacking him. Then Mousse who was blind 
and attacking Ranma to win his Shampoo’s heart. Then came Cologne, 
Happosai, Herb, Taro, Saffron, Tome, and Nodoka with that crazy 
pledge, and many more.
Somehow he survived it all. He was used by Nabiki, hurt by Akane, 
assaulted by his so-called friends, controlled by Genma and Cologne, and 
kept his sanity.
He battled with a Kami and torn him apart. He willingly taken 
abused from many people, and still lived and not killed his tormentor. He 
has risked his life for those who wish him death many times without a 
second thought.
This made Pluto proud of her son. She doubted that any of the 
Senshi could handle Ranma’s life. At rate in power goes, he was as strong 
as Sailor Moon in Serenity form wielding the Silver imperial Crystal. Then 
she heard Ranma’s prayer. She smiled as a thought occurred to her. She 
entered the time stream once again.

Pluto appeared in front of Ranma in civilian human form. Ranma 
had just left Ucchan as he change back into a man with a cup of hot 
water.
“Hello Ranma.” Setsuna Meiou said. “I am Setsuna Meiou.” 
Setsuna looked closely at Ranma. He still looked the same as he did in the 
palace. “Look, if you’re another fiancée, sorry, but my Pops engaged me 
more than once.” Ranma said.
“No, but I can help you with your problems if you’ll let me.” Setsuna 
said in a calm tone. The thought ‘Genma will die’ kept running thought 
her though. 
Oh great, another one of those people. I should just humor her and 
maybe she’ll go away, Ranma thought to himself. “Go ahead, give it a 
shot.” Ranma said half-heartily. 
“Close your eyes.” Setsuna said. Ranma did so. Then Setsuna and 
Ranma vanished in front of the open door to Ucchan’s.
“RANMAAAA,” Ukyo screamed panicky as Ranma and Setsuna 
vanished. She leapt over her counter and run towards where her Ranchan 
disappeared. She burst outside of her restaurant and tried to find any 
trace of him. 
“RRRRRRRRRRAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNMMMMMAAAAAA” 
Ukyo cried out, as she couldn’t figure out what had happen.

Ranma opened his eyes and noticed he wasn’t on the street anymore. 
He looked around and saw Setsuna in Sailor form standing in front of the 
Gate of Time. She had a familiar staff in her hand, but he couldn’t place 
it.
“Where the hell have you taken me.” Ranma demand as he walked 
up to Setsuna. Setsuna was shock to see the angry face on her reborn son.
“Touch the Gates of Time and all shall be made clear.” Pluto said as 
she disappeared. “Hey wait.” Ranma said but was too late. No trace of 
her what so ever. He wasn’t going to let his kidnapper boss him around.
Great, it usually the tomboy that gets kidnapped. I bet she laughing 
her head off on that the roles are reversed. Too bad, she’ll be able to beat 
Pluto. Wait minute, why am I calling Setsuna Pluto. His head hurt, so he 
rested and just waited. Ranma waited for an hour before walking up and 
touching the gates of time.
He felt unbearable pain. He tried to pull his hand back but it 
wouldn’t move an inch. He threw back his head let go a bloodcurdling 
scream as a lifetime of memories from his past life on the Moon Kingdom 
was forced into his mind.
Ranma fell limp as the last of his old memories integrated into his 
mind.

Ranma woke in unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar apartment as 
well. Setsuna was sitting on a chair “Ranma are you okay.” Setsuna 
asked. “Yes Mom. For God sake, couldn’t find a less pain way to awaken 
me mother?” Ranma asked.
“It was the quickest way and with the best results.” Setsuna said 
with a smirk. “Does everything have to be quick and painful with you.” 
Ranma asked.
“No, you were not quick but very painful.” Setsuna said. Ranma 
realized what Setsuna meant. “Well it was worth it wasn’t it.” Ranma 
said. “Yes, it was.” Setsuna said.
Ranma looked around his surrounding. He saw the mirror and 
stood up and walked over to it. He took a look at his himself. His hair 
was his natural green color instead of it being dyed black.
He was wearing his white uniform from the moon kingdom. He 
also saw his trusty broadsword in its scabbard that was attached to his 
leather black belt.
“I got you dress for the occasion” Setsuna said. “Thanks, I think. I 
wonder what the other would say if they saw me dressed up.” Ranma 
said wistfully.
“You can check on them if you want. Remember, every Pluto can 
look into the past, present, and future while her offspring can see only 
what is happening presently at the moment.” Setsuna reminded Ranma.
Ranma closed his eyes and concentrated. He looked towards the 
Tendo Dojo and saw…
