"Remember Ranma, according to the math, this will not only take you back to your homeworld, but within three point seven minutes of your original departure." The Professor continued to adjust settings.
Ranma turned to his pokegirls, who were looking various shades of miserable. "Well, this is it. I'm sorry, but you'd never be able to fit in or blend in with normal society. And there are no Pokecenters, no way of repairing pokeballs, and no League. Professor Stroak here will be able to keep all of you in your pokeballs and find new Tamers for you or find you work around here."
His little speech didn't help. Miserable went to crying.
Ranma nodded to Professor Stroak and stepped in front of the framework. As the Professor threw the switch an all-too familiar tunnel shape appeared, stretching into infinity.
Taking a deep breath, Ranma stepped into the tunnel, not daring to look back at his pokegirls. One more look at their expressions and his resolve would crumble. This was for the best for them too.
Ranma shot out of the far end of the tunnel, arms and legs windmilling briefly before slamming into the ground.
He looked around. There was the stone he had stood on, or at least the bottom third of it. There were his tracks from over a year ago, looking freshly made.
Odd, how much he'd gone through in a year's time. Plucking at his clothes, Ranma wondered if the tough but serviceable clothing he'd picked up would stand out too much. Would he be able to forget his experiences, and the people he'd never see again? Would he be able to pick up where he'd left off, or had he changed too much?
"aaaaAAAAAA" *THWAM!*
"eeeeeeep!" *THWAM!*
"Cannonball!" *THWUD!*
"Oops!" *THWAM!"
"Aaaaaaa!" *THWAM!* *THWUD!* *THUMP!*
*Fssshhhhhhh PUM!*
Ranma glanced up to see the tunnel close away to nothing, then sighed at the weight on his back.
"Master?"
Ranma wondered how he was going to explain *this* to his Oyaji?
On second thought, who cared?
Now that we have a point of reference, let's look at:
