Ranma blinked.

Ranma: "Erm...you sure he's like...dead and stuff...cuz he looks pretty alive to me."

Course then again...he's been out of it for a few months...

Ranma: "Oy...so how long's he been awake anyways?"

Promptly after that sentence, Colleen sputtered something incoherent and collapsed on the floor.

Ranma: "........Okay, obviously not long." ~Kami-sama...~

Rain kneeled down and poked him some, to no effect.

"He has been awake longer than me, but for some reason, he stopped recovering really soon after he regained consciousness. Which reminds me, let's drag him back to bed, before Celestria finds out. She'll be pissed if she thinks we hindered his recovery."

She lifted up Colleens right arm, and then dropped it back down.

"Though I do wonder how someone skilled in healing magic can stay sick for so long."

Ranma: "Yea...I was gonna ask that myself..."

Ranma looked at cleric again, shook his head at Colleen pitifully, and lifted his side with ease, but joked:

Ranma: "Damn...cleric needs to lose a few G's or so...he's really packin' it in there..."

"Maybe he's pregnant"

Rain dragged up Colleen's feet, but dropped them soon after.

"Damn, he really is rather heavy!"

And with an expression on her face, she lifted his feet once more, and somewhat helped Ranma to get Colleen back into bed.

"Let's bail out of here, before Celestria shows up."

Ranma watched Rain bolt...

Ranma: "Oh yea...just...leave him there...after he passes out on us..."

Ranma chuckled, he took a look at Colleen to make sure he was, in fact, relatively decent...

Ranma: "Hmm..."

Well...for the most part he checked out, for what little he knew on the subject, but there were a few side things he got from Kasumi and the doc...

Ranma: ~I'm no doc...or at least no Tofu-sensei...but I think he'll be fine...just looks like he's worn out...wonder why...guy's been out for months, right?~

Ranma shook his head and sighed...yep...he was back in chaos yet again...it had a familiar bit to it that he liked, even if most of it annoyed him; it was a sign that things weren't going to be dull for a while.

Oh...how true that could be...


>>>

???: "Hmm..."

Being in an 'evil organization'-repped crew had it's perks. For one, most times, you got the opportunity to help blow things up like vid games. Oh the glamour.

The rest of it, work work and more work, sucked however...that and maybe the whole conscience thing...but hey...it was either do this...or face whatever higher up there was, what choice was there then?

Though, it was fun to see this prototype go up to first phase today...it had been a long drawn out process over a half year that had yielded this moment:

A charred remnant of a clone that didn't have any function left whatsoever...

...Well, at least in the fighting sense, but she did give some good data. That would be enough to make for the next dozen or so to be sent out soon.

It was lucky though...to get to where they were today...even funding dropped to the toilet, and somehow things skyrocketted again, someone got interest in the project and started funding the works of the organization...

So why the heck did he never know anything? True, he was an underling to Nagasaki-sensei...but the doc had to know something. Too bad he was lost in that fire a few months ago...he had some decent work...and we has definitely respected by many until he got a weird evil streak going for him when the whole funding thing happened.

One of his 'decent works' was sitting right in front of him, even though she was dead, she was one of many that should've been dead and destroyed.

Luckily...before the previous lab that Nagasaki worked at was destroyed...he had sent 'data' a few minutes before it's collapse on impulse. The reproduction data was very much in it's early stages, even though the project of cloning had been going on for almost a century...and it only stemmed around a specific host. A certain host that was in the Delta series, ironically the first and perhaps the most volitale and unstable...but nonetheless...he worked with what he was given...and over the months...got the girl up and running.

She was a real beaut too...whoever got clone data for this one really knew their picks, if there was someone asking for a nice-looking clone at least, there was little known about it's test capabilities other than it's output was 'excellent'...oh yea...fat lot to go by.

So the go-ahead was given...and the test subject was released to engage Prime...yet again. The results were less than impressive...upon looking at the charred remains of her...this was no fighter...or the data that was given was horribly incomplete.


???: "Hmm..."

He stopped on one point of the visual interlink that was on playback now and got a zoom-in on a character that was out and fighting. One...short, petite, blonde haired girl...looked like a scientist with the gear and googles she had on...and one pigtailed boy...looked like he was the one that creamed her.

Wait...pigtailed...

He took a look at the clone. Hmm...must be a coincidence. He kept up with the playback. The end showed a nice view of the forest canopy...obviously the clone was gone...but the image was still there, for the most part. The pigtailed boy moved into view overhead and the image phased a few times and went black, end of data.

He rewound the data a bit, slow motion, zoom on and got a look at the boy's shocked expression.

That was all it took.


???: "Heh...so it seems she's somehow related to this one guy...well I'm glad someone told me this before I went solo and did all the work on trying to get her up...maybe he'll have what I...eheh...need..."

Turning back to the bat-data in front of him, he took a look at the physical outputs and other miscellaneous things during the battle's happening and made a note on the one pigtailed boy for possible comparable, if not compatible, data to be viewed later on...

He took out a microcassette recorder:


???: "This should be an interesting greek letter for S-series. Epsilon 1 is showing decent battle data and interesting opposition data. Will continue furthering this observation and incorporate said data into next wave. Clone runs were made from regenerative projects from previous lab where Delta was worked on, eight total. Next engage time will be initiated after I have finished up work with this one."

...and cut the record.

He took a look at her one more time, she was on her backside, barcode: E-0001 clearly visible but charred as well. Poor waste of beauty but hey, it was clone data and apparently it was working.

This beaut was turning out to be more of a fighter than he hoped for...


???: "This job just got a hell of a lot more interesting..."

Had there been officials and other doctors and scientists around, said language wouldn't have passed well...but to hell with formalities when he was the only one around and doing the majority of work for them for the time being until they got restaffed...which seemed to be taking a while for some reason, probably more funding issues.

???: "Well...might as well get back to this then..."

>>>

Ranma closed the door gently. He didn't want to wake Colleen up and have another go round with that again. He visualized Colleen real fast...then he got a weird feeling when he remember that one...thing...just today. It couldn't have been real...or at least...it didn't feel real. He shook his head again...he had to get things cleared up with Anya soon.

After a nice morning in the sun, Anya is now walking down the hallway to get to her room to change.

"Man, talk about freaking borning. I hope the future won't be like this." (bad pun!!111)

Anya then looks down and spots someone on the first floor. Someone who looks really familiar with her.

"I think I was in that sun for too long, this time."

Ranma stepped off the steps to the bottom floor; he had had enough...

Ranma: "OYYYYY!!"

He was getting quite tired of being from point A to point 324-million-and-a-half in search of the elusive tomboy, only to yield nothing in return.

Ranma: "Where's the stupid tomboy macho chick when you need her?"

Anya leans against the rail, to try to get a better look. "HEY!!! You down there?!!!"

A puzzled look, to say the least, could be seen on Anya's face right now.

This couldn't be.....

"...eh... I think I'll go now."

and with those words, Rain rushes out, not willing to be a part of this little reunion.

Ranma looked straight up from his position.

Ranma: "Speak of the devil..."

He briefly heard Rain comment about something and turned to find her gone...

Ranma: "Hey where'd ya...where'd ya go?"

Ranma looked back up and caught a glimpse of Anya's expression...

Ranma: ~Ah nuts...I said something wrong already didn't I?~

*BAM*

All lights in Anya's eyes go out, and a few seconds later, we see that she's on the ground, holding her head.

"Sorry about that...here..." An object is droped at her feet. "She's gonna kill me for sure." The person runs off...again.

Less than 20 seconds after that....

"I told you to stay out of that chamber!!" Celestria yells out. "Do you have any...oh, hello, Anya....any idea of what you could be doing to the fabric of time?!" Celestria follows Kyle, trying to keep up with him.

As for Anya...

Ranma: ".......Right."

Obviously, he hadn't missed much in the craziness department AT ALL. He shook his head and took his time going upstairs to see how the princess was doing.

He stopped short of Anya's place on the ground, crossed his arms behind his head, and smirked.


Ranma: "Ya know...you have to have some of th' worst luck I've ever seen."

"Head hurts and I'm seeing things, this is just great." Anya then picks up some or potion bottle that Kyle dropped off. Probably trying to hide it from Celestria.

Ranma: "Seein' what things?"

Ranma scratched his head at that one, then took a second to actually re-think what was said, for once. He smirked. He went up to Anya and lightly tapped her on the forehead.

Ranma: "I'm plenty real, ya know."

"......ow! That's the big idea, I get knocked down, head is hurting and you tap me on said head? Geee...hello to you to, yet, I still don't think you..well, you're here. I mean, you left to your own time and world, figured you wouldn't be back...especially all the stuff that happened. Figured this would be the last past you would take a second vacation."

Ranma blinked. She sure knew how to get to the point.

Ranma: "Ever think that something went down...ya know? So that maybe I'm here now because of it?"

Ranma sighed...he needed to get this stuff out of his system soon now that he found Anya. He helped her back up from her prone position on the floor.

Ranma: "I'll have to talk to you about it...somewhere else if ya don't mind?"

"Oh. Sorry about that. I sorta figured that--nevermind that." She shakes her head and places the little bottle into her pocket. "What about the study? No one really goes in there."

Ranma: "I really don't mind, just not out in the open..."

Ranma didn't really mind, just wherever, he just hoped he'd be able to recall everything that he was told.

He had a bad feeling though...something was off...he couldn't put his finger on it...but something didn't ring right with him, and, by now, he had learned to trust that instinct. He decided to keep an eye out mentally...something was probably going to go down soon. He didn't really know how to explain the feeling either, maybe it was just the whole situation in general getting to him, but it felt more than that for some reason.

He couldn't have been more right...


>>>

???: "That should do her."

Taking a look at the results, which were indeed impressive, the nameless scientist made a call upstairs that he had the data to send out for the next test run wave. A set of eight this time around with the new data. Maybe this time they would hold their own a little better.

>>>

Only about five minutes later...

???: "Permission to release Eppy 2 through 9?"

From the control room, there were monitors streamed throughout the room, with one large one mounted on the wall surrounded by a few smaller monitors for excess data. The main one flashed on and showed eight completely identical clones standing at attention, all dressed in black and rather tight-fitting suits, and all of their expressions were neutral, like were robots or zombies.

One of the main officers in charge of the job for releasing took the comm for a moment while looking through the readouts on the eight in front of him.


???: "Data uploaded to each, bypassing old data and replacing with the new.......Diagnostics check out okay. Stability is holding and all hosts look good. I don't see a reason why not."

That was radioed back to control.

???: "Roger that, we are go. teleport Epsilons to destination X 023 715, Y 452 328, surface level and nominal radius of transport. Instructions to meet Prime are as the previous one. Repeat, we are go for deploy."

The monitor flickered for a second then all eight drones flashed a bright light for a second before it faded out and they were gone.

>>>

There was a large energy distortion right outside the forest next to the castle, a white spherical wave of energy which stretched and flashed for a second then was replaced by the eight drones who were on the monitor. They didn't speak but they signalled one another, one was in the lead of all of them apparently and took front.

Apparently this wasn't the normal, oh hi we're stopping by, but they definitely had the idea of bringing the house down when all of them drilled the castle simultaneously with energy blasts after walking a short distance to the backyard outside the castle...

Rain, who had just picked up and put on her gear, fell straigth on her behind, due to the shockwaves running through the castle..

"OUCH! What's the great idea?"

She got up and hurried to one of the windows, catching a glimpse of what she saw earlier today.

".......not again."

After loading up on some overly powerful bullets and shells, she ran down the stairs, yelling to inform any and everyone of what she just saw.

Celestria finally had Kyle trapped inside one of the guest bedrooms. As soon as a shockwave hit, Kyle lost his footing and falls out of the window.

"Honestly, I think you deserved that," Celestria says, looking out of the window. "Oh my...." Celestria made sure to cast a protect spell on Kyle, as he reached the ground, Odin sword in hand.

"I told you I was sorry!!!" He calls up.

~~

Miles makes his way towards the main computer room and begins to set up a defense shield, on not only the castle, but on everyone in it.

~~

Anya looks at Ranma, "I'm not even going to comment on that."
