"No Please! Poppa don't!" Ranma screamed as he was tossed into a pit of utter darkness with god knows what inside it.
"Don't be such a girl boy!" Genma hollared hurling the small child into the pit. Red and green eyes glowed around him and he ran he bumped into something and he bolted off in another direction.
Scene change
He stood over his most recent kill, his body covered in scars. Except his face. Everything had been scarred but his face. He sliced into the Yoma and used his energies to heat the meat before biting into the disgusting stuff. At least it was a human-like one. They tasted the best.
Scene change.
"Ohhh hoooo. Who's hunting whom Beril?" Ranma asked stretching out his senses. His time was upon him. This world had left it's mark on him, now he was going to mark it all as his own. Every Yoma and human would tremble in fear at the mention of his name. There she was, her back was turned. Like the unrivaled predator he was Ranma crept up behind her, and killed her in an instant.
Scene Change
"I blame myself." Pluto sighed. "I allowed this to happen, because I was more scared of what you -could- become, rather than what She -would- become."
Ranma seriously wondered if the knowledge that all her meddling had finally back fired had been too much and the princess of the ninth planet had at long last gone mad. Not that it was going to matter in a few second, if she was crazy, then she couldn't suffer with the knowledge of her mistakes, thus, Ranma had no reason to spare her.
"So, I'm going to finish this Ranma." Pluto said strangely matter of fact.
"You?" Ranma blinked at Pluto's clear insanity. "Finish this? Like you haven't been trying before? Oh brother. If you could have finished this you would have by now."
She ignored his words. "I kept looking for so many different futures without you, but you seemed destined to always be there in some form or another. I finally understand why, why I couldn't. I was stabbing at a shadow, I was fixating on only one half of your existence. Ranma 1/2. Because in my cluster of realities, you are bound by fate to us."
"Okay. If you are done insanely blabbing, I think I'll just kill you now. You have done enough damage."
"So have we both." Pluto said again matter of fact. What was that in her hand? It was so tiny, yet shinning brightly all the same. "I toss it all to the winds. Regardless of fate, may this lead to peace in one form or another, the crystal age of kindness and love... "
"... Wait. Never mind. Just good-bye."
"No. Welcome home. Ranko." The Star Seed in Pluto's hand flew at the speed of light, and rammed itself into Ranma's chest, as if splashed by cold water Ranma changed genders, and she, Pluto, and everything in sight, went white.
Scene change
Ranko woke up shivering and holding herself. She crawled quickly out of bed and dashed across the hall. She ran up to her mother's bed. "Mom? Mommy...? They're back again." she said her voice breaking a little. There was a rustling of sheets as Setsuna crawled over across the bed and picked her up and into a hug.
"It's alright Ranko. I'll do everything I can to make sure it all turns out alright. Even if you can't get the crystal to me I'll find a way." she said rubbing Ranko's back in a circle as the normally spunky girl sobbed into her nightgown.
"B-but what if I can't find it? What if it doesn't work? What if I become him again? I hated that!! I never want that... that... monster again! It-It's all better this way." She sobbed and Setsuna made shushing noises while gently cradling her.
"Shhhh shhhh shhhh. We know how to create the crystal and just when I need to get it by. We can do this my little fireball. Don't you worry. I won't lose you. Period." Setsuna assured her and Ranko gave out a shudder before nodding.
"Now would you like to sleep with me for the rest of the night?" she asked and got another nod. Smiling gently to herself Setsuna laid back down and covered them both in blankets and they fell asleep embracing each other.
