"What do you mean, darling? Did the healing tank do something awful?" asked Lum.
"No, it did what it was designed to do," admitted Ataru Moroboshi. Mind you, he was over a foot taller, had a strong lithe runner's physique that looked closer to 22 than his real age, and had a bulge in his pants that was definitely enhanced. "It healed me and enhanced me in all the ways I wanted to be enhanced."
"Yes, darling Master, DO show us," said Ran, lustfully staring at his crotch.
"Not now, Ran-chan, later," said Ataru, patting the girl on the head. "I need to fix a few things."
"What sort of things-cha?" asked Lum.
"I have you dear girls as my harem, and adding the rest of these would mean neglecting you," said Ataru. "That's bad."
"It certainly is!" agreed Shinobu. "But how can you deny the rest of these girls your presence?"
"They haven't fixated on me yet," said Ataru. "It can still be changed. Once the alteration has been set and fixed, it can't be changed back. So, I'm stuck with what we've got so far. What I need is a lightning rod."
Lum held up a single finger and charged it with electricity.
"Not THAT sort of lightning rod," quickly said Ataru. "Don't worry though. I've got an idea."
"Of course, Darling!" agreed Lum. "Can you tell us-tcha?"
"First I need to access the machines here," said Ataru. "We'll need to use the geneworx devices, cloning and manipulation of DNA. Quantum reflections, I think. Check the system manuals. When I'm done, I can remake worlds into paradises."
Present (Ataruverse time):
Ranma tried not to look. Nope. Looking bad.
He'd rescued one girl, who had apparently been delighted at being freed.
Except he knew better.
Ami had freed her friends. Then others had also been freed. Now, in order to stand a chance against whatever or whoever Ataru had - they'd freed more to imprint on Ranma.
He knew they were following him. He knew that...
"Why did everything just ripple?" asked Ranma. That had been really unsettling. As if the walls and air and ceiling had just shifted. Like a rug being arranged or something.
"Power is up all across the board," reported Ami. "I don't see any sign he's aware of us, but power readings are... this can't be right. This is roughly the equivelant of the power output of all the suns in a galaxy. Power level increasing!"
Another ripple passed by.
"We're-" began Ami before things started fading out to white.
"Excellent," said Ataru. "How's it going, Shinobu? Sakura?"
"Everything's reading nominal," reported Shinobu as she watched the holographic readouts. "It's straining the system but so far everything's going correctly."
"Excellent," said Ataru. "A perfect world is right around the corner. No more jealousy. No more guys fighting over the same girl. No more guys trying to decide which girl to choose and which girls to hurt by not choosing them. A world of plenty for everyone!"
"Darling is so generous-tcha!" proudly proclaimed Lum.
"If one session in the healing tank did this for me," thoughtfully pondered Ataru, "I wonder what a second session would do. Oh well, no time for that now. How did it all come together?" His fingers stroked down along the defined muscles of his stomach, admiring how his tweaks to his own appearance had worked out.
"Ranma Saotome is back at the first day where he is to meet the Tendos," said Sakura, a flickering TV screen showing images. "However-"
