Takekuichi raised an eyebrow "Interesting..." she looked pensive for a second "All right, let's see what comes of it..."
"I'm glad you approve !" Toltiir looked smug "Let's see... The girl pilots make two. Add the adult officers of NERV, three more. The school girl deserves to join the fun, that one too... Those two... yes, beats being a computer or the soul of a biomechanoid killing machine..."
Takekuichi smiled "You planned for this, didn't you ? It's not the first time you 'rescue' these mortals from Third Impact and then set them up in one of your 'scenarios'..."
"Hey ! My scenarios are much more fun than those of SEELE and Gendo, thank you very much !" The elder god of mischief pondered a little more "And for the tenth... AHA ! I know just the person !"
The goddess paled "You're not serious ! HER ?"
"That would be telling..." The cat winked in her direction "Well, on with the show !"

Ranma sweated. Of all the things that could come out of a magic ring, it had to be a scantily-clad beautiful girl ! He briefly wondered what kami he had offended to deserve this !
She was tall, athletic, racked *whap* bad thought ! and looked like in her late teenage years. Long dark purple hair and black eyes, she was wearing clothes consisting of flimsy pieces of red and black silk with pieces of metal armor on vital areas (not enough in Ranma's opinion). A scimitar in its sheath was tied to her belt. A silver crescent pendant hanged on her neck taking Ranma's eyes to her melons *whap* pervert !
"I'm... alive ? I'm free !" The woman came to her senses, checked herself over and noticed the young man sitting on the pavement. Ring on finger, check. Handsome and very male, check. Quick thanks to the gods, check. "My new master !" She pounced.
As always in this kind of situation, Ranma Saotome proved unable to escape the affectionate female glomp tm "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou !" He promptly turned green and started to suffocate. That girl was even stronger than Shampoo ! "Can't... breathe..."

"So who are you ?" Ranma had finally managed to get out of the woman's hug.
She cheerfully smiled "I'm Misato, genie of battle and tactics, Master ! I am one of the ten legendary genies of the Eva Kingdom" She winked at him and shamelessly flaunted her body "Your wish is my command, hehe..."
"A genie ? Really ?" Ranma perked up "Can you cure me of my curse ?"
Misato's face turned serious "Absolutely not" Ranma facefaulted.
"Why the hell not !?" screamed Ranma "And call me Ranma, please..." He wasn't interested in his suitors and rivals' reaction at seeing a gorgeous woman like that calling him 'Master' in public with her sultry voice.
"I told you. I'm the genie of battle. Healing and purification are Ritsuko's gig, not mine. We all have our specialties" Misato patted him on the head "Don't worry, Mas... Ranma ! I'll help you find her and the others and we'll all kick Fallen butt !"
"Fallen ?" Ranma didn't like the sound of this "You have enemies ?"
Misato nodded "Yes... In the days of our kingdom, we all volunteered to become genies in order to stand against the Fallen of the Dead Sea, nasty monsters born of black magic and unholy pacts" She shivered a little "Since I have been awakened, it means they're back too. The scrolls of prophecy was very clear on this matter. They'll come after me... after us"
Ranma took his head in his hands "Why me ? Why does it always happen to me ?"
"Fate, most likely" Misato made him look at her "Ranma, you are my sha'ir now. We must find the others or the world will be engulfed in darkness under the Fallen's reign of terror. You are the only hope ! You mustn't run away !"
Ranma's pride surged "Hey ! I've never ran away from anyone in my life !" *Saotome secret technique excluded. If she told me the truth, one of the other genies can cure my curse !* "Can you tell me more about the others ?"
Misato glomped and kissed him to his embarassment "Thanks, Master ! There are ten genie of Eva, each one in a magical ring like mine. Our first task will be to find them...
Rei. Genie of Water and Ice
Asuka. Genie of Fire and Heat
Mana. Genie of Wind and Thunder
Hikari. Genie of Earth and Rock
Misato. Genie of Battle and Tactics
Ritsuko. Genie of Healing and Knowledge
Maya. Genie of Defense and Support
Yui. Genie of Light and Hope
Naoko. Genie of Darkness and Death
And the last one : Lilith, the Great Mother
Lilith will come only to the Chosen One, the one who will gather the Nine together" She suddenly frowned.
"Something wrong ?" Ranma tensed, ready for battle.
Misato was glad her new master was a fighter, and darn sexy to boot ! But first things first...
