Ranma Saotome,Martial Artist Supreme, and also the bio-boosted hero known as the Guyver to some stop on the small balcony of his apartment watching the sun as it began to rose. Alot had happened in the two, almost three years since he bonded with the alien unit.
The events since then seemed to roll by in fastforward every time he thought about it. The trip to Aebra and the hellish fight against the Dynasty, the final battle between Rio, Stripe and himself ending the conflict.
...Returning home and watching Brit & Stripe wed....smashing any last chances he might of had to try and become Brit's man...but no..he opted to not destory what his two best friends had. He even went as far as to bio-boost and get in Dr. Diggers and Jetta's face about messing with the wedding when Raphiel showed up.
The trip to Jade was almost a blur. As the Guyver he made short work of Tirant & Array's Mage-napping scheme with the Edge Guard's help and ...'disgraced' G'nolga by beating her senseless and revealing her end in the kidnappings.
(AN: Usually Ranma would reframe from using Guyver but G'nolga was somebody he COULDN'T take a chance with..plus she was being evil so... ^^)
The whole Grave Diggers revival affair was messy, and in the end thanks to some help from Array (as part of a plea bargin to reduce her sentance) Raphiel was revived as intended.
The D'Jinn Jar, and Explorers banquet and events leading up to the Arms Tournament were varied and too brie to mention in detail. Ranma had entered the tournament and nearly won..but Julia's experience (and the Renewing Breath tech she learned restoring her vitality and youth) proved that Ranma still had a bit to go before he could could overpower Julia.
What threw Ranma's life into a blender was the whole Chronos affair..and their monsterous henchmen the Zoanoids. Ranma's life at that point was never the same again...and in the back of his head he felt that he still hadn't seen the last of Chronos...or at least Akphangel. He had a feeling the first and most powerful of Zoalords was still out there.
But what happened recently was what was on his mind.
Just a few weeks ago, it was discovered Britanny was pregnant! It was a very joyus occasion, and Ranma himself felt very happy for Britanny & Stripe while his feelings for Brit were still not all gone they had faded enough it wasn't bothered by them. And he was graciously honored by being made the baby's 'God Father'.
But it was Tanya's reappearance that spurred the recent events. Somehow she got back to Atlanta and entered the Etheral Stream to get at Brit & the Baby on the Soul level...and after Stripe had firmly told her he loved Brit..Tanya went psycho and was bent on killing them all.
But she had neglected that the rest of Britanny's family would arrive, stopping her cold and Tanya was further shocked when Ranma himself in Guyver form had arrived and held Tanya back.
Ranma chuckled as he recalled Theo's words. " Family isn't bond just by blood, but love, that's why we're all here."
After returning to the real world and going with Theo to take Tanya to Jade, Ranma had a talk with the Kryn ex-pristess in private and found himself feeling the same pity that Stripe and Theo felt for her.
...And found himself sympathizing....Tanya said she felt cheated out of the person she'd loved for years. Ranma himself had known Britanny before she met Stripe...he knew how she felt..and realized that deep down he too was still hurting from his unreciprocated feelings.
As insane as it sounded he decided to go through with a plan he came up with. He talked it over with Theo and some of the Mages from Sanctuary. While reluctent they agree to let Tanya return to Earth under Ranma's supervision. When asked of his reasons he had replied.
" In a sense we're the same...two people hurting and unsure how to react or deal with our pent up emotions. She needs help but treating her like a paitent won't do it...she needs to know the one helpping her is 100% in the green as her....someone who knows her pain...as intimately as she does."
After slapping a bracelet on Tanya's wrist to limit her powers, Ranma bought an apartment like house not far from the Digger's homestead and had Tanya move in with him.
The first week had been tense, but soon both Tanya and himself slowly became more used to the other. The second week was still hecktic but the two were more at ease with the other and opening up. Week three was the breaking point...blubbering confesses, and both of them holding the other and comforting one another.
Things had gone on a routine for the last month and a half. Tanya and himself helped each other day-by-day, just living life. While Tanya was STILL not very welcomed at by the Diggers...they trusted Ranma explictly and had confidence he'd succeed...and the results thus far were satisfactory.
But here was the big problem....Ranma felt...he felt that he was developing feelings for Tanya....but..were they geniune..or..were they just urges to fill the void in his life ASAP on the rebound?
Meanwhile...
AN: Hello people, for those of you following Guyver1/2 I know this skips ALOT. As Guyver unfolds (especially down the path where Ranma goes to Jade) bits and peices of the story will become clear and flashbacks will occur. Plus some changes have been made to how things will turn out in Guyver.
