Chapter 003

To Attempt The Impossible

“HIYYAAAHHH!” P-Ranma dodged out of the way as Agent R’s foot came down. He then

ducked as Agent Red threw an amaguriken at him.

P-Ranma smiled as he performed an impressive aerial dodge that evaded both of the MIB agents

follow up attacks. “Nice try but, I can literally see everything you’re going to throw at me before

you do it. Your minds are open books.”

Agent Red and Agent R panted as they took up ready positions on either side of P-Ranma, who

was standing casually in the middle of the open area in their hotel room. “Stop reading our minds

when sparring ya ass hole! That’s cheating!” Red snarled at him.

P-Ranma chuckled. “It’s not cheating at all. I was born with these abilities, it’s a reflex now

when I fight.”

“So how the hell can we tag you?” Agent R exclaimed, dropping his stance.

P-Ranma looked flustered. “I’ve been trying to tell you two. Clear your minds! If you’re not

thinking about hitting me, then I can’t see it coming psychically!”

Agent Red stormed off. “Screw this! It’s pointless! How can we not think about hitting you when

we’re trying to HIT YOU!?”

Agent R nodded. “Yeah I’m with her on this one.”

P-Ranma grabbed some towels off of a nearby table, where D-Ranma was reading the

newspaper, and tossed them to the two MIB agents. “It’s not pointless. We’re traveling the

multiverse who knows when you’ll end up having to fight for your life against a psychic

opponent.”

D-Ranma looked up from her paper. “He’s got a point there.”

Agent Red turned to D-Ranma with a look of anger. “Shut up bitch!”

D-Ranma frowned. “Well looks like I’m not the only one on my period.”

Agent Red stopped toweling off and stormed towards the table. “Lady you do NOT want to go

there! I will fucking destroy you.” Agent Red got right up in D-Ranmas face.

D-ranma set the paper down and glared at Agent Red. “You better get out of my face right now

girly girl, or we’re going to find out if you can.”

Agent R decided to intervene at that moment. “Cut it out you two! We’re all practically the same

person here so could we please at least TRY to get along?”

Agent Red sniffed in disdain, tossed the towel over her shoulder and turned away. “You’re right

R. She’s not worth it.” Agent Red then walked to the bathroom.

D-Ranma fumed. “Oh my god she is infuriating!”

Agent R took a seat at the table. “Go easy on her... er Ranma. She’s full time girl on the outside

but full time guy in the head. It hasn’t even been a year since she’s been given the raw deal, she’s

having trouble coping. You get to change back after the week’s over, Psychic Ranma can change

back when he turns girl, and Vampire Ranma and retractable knife hand... Ranma don’t even

have curses. Well... other than Vampire ranma being half vampire. I suppose that’s a curse.”

P-Ranma decided to cut in. “You’re babbling Agent R.”

Agent R nodded. “Right, sorry. Old habits die hard. My point is. She’s sensitive. Don’t let what

she says get to you and keep the female centric insults to a minimum. Also, call her dude on

occasion if you can. It helps her mood a lot trust me.”

D-Ranma sighed. “Okay, fine. I’ll at least try.”

Agent R sighed and leaned back in his chair. “Thanks. So... what should I call you? I mean. It

kinda feels weird to keep calling you all Ranma.”

P-Ranma snickered. “Or retractable knife hand Ranma.”

Agent R waved the comment off. “That’s exactly my point. I mean me and Red got Agent R and

Agent Red, that’s different enough that we shouldn’t have to change, but you guys are all just

Ranma.”

On a nearby couch S-Ranma and A-Ranma were watching the news. “You can call me Ranma. I

ain’t changing my name.” S-Ranma said

A-Ranma turned away from the T.V. towards the others. “Um... I sometimes go by The Claws Of

Death... but I don’t suppose that would be normal.”

“No... how about Claw. Similar I know but it’s shorter and could at least be explained away as a

nickname.” P-Ranma Suggested.

S-Ranma looked intrigued now. “Wait nicknames are allowed? I changed my mind then I want to

go by Blade. Y’know, cause I use lots of them in my work.” He said.

Agent R smirked. “Too bad pal, you already picked Ranma. You’re stuck with it. Sides, Blade’s

too similar to Claw.”

D-Ranma and P-Ranma shared a laugh with Agent R. S-Ranma sighed and turned back to the

T.V. “You guys are dicks.”

“I’ll go by Galnaav.” D-Ranma said. “It’s the name of my magic teacher.”

“Magic.” S-Ranma sneered. “You still have yet to give us a demonstration of these supposed

magic skills of yours.”

“Keep it up jackass, and when the week’s over I’ll give you a demonstration you’ll never forget.”

D-Ranma spat back.

“What about you?” A-Ranma asked P-Ranma. “What should we call you?”

P-Ranma looked thoughtful. “I’m not sure. I haven’t put too much thought about this. I mean the

X-Men all have code names, most mutants usually have one. Shouldn’t be too hard to come up

with one.”

D-Ranma laughed. “Ha! The psychic one’s drawing a blank!”

“I am not, I just never thought of it before now.” P-Ranma claimed, slightly annoyed. “What

about X?” He suggested.

“X?” Agent R asked. “I don’t get it, is that some sort of MIB reference?”

P-Ranma chuckled. “No it’s in reference to my mutant background. The mutant gene is known in

my world as the X-Factor, or X-gene. Since I’m the only mutant in the group I think it makes

sense to just keep it simple like that instead of trying to figure out some silly name based on

psychic ability.”

“I like it. It’s got a ring to it.” A-Ranma said. “Now how about we go and get Akane to fall in

love with that Kuno guy so we can move on. My fiancee is probably worried sick about me. Not

to mention my sister.”

P-Ranma looked uncomfortable as he sat at the table. “Uh... it’s not really quite that simple.”

“That’s an understatement.” D-Ranma said. “To say that these two are incompatible is like

saying that the sky is blue.”

S-Ranma shrugged. “Pfff, whatever. We’ll just send Akane some flowers in his name and we’re

done. Girls love that crap.”

P-Ranma laughed. “Y’know Agent R... I think the only way we can get these two to understand

the situation is to just... show them.”

Agent R nodded. “Yeah. I don’t think it can be avoided.” Agent R, D-Ranma, and P-Ranma all

got up from the table and the other two followed suit and started heading to the door.

S-Ranma looked thoughtful as they walked. “What about Vamp?”

Agent R rolled his eyes and smiled wide and P-Ranma laughed out loud. “That’s a good one R.”

Agent R turned to P-Ranma. “ Thanks X. I thought you’d appreciate that one.”

S-Ranma looked pissed and bared his fangs. “Hey no fair reading the jokes... or insults... or

whatever out of his head. That doesn’t count!”

Just then Agent Red came out of the shower, fully dressed and drying her hair. “What’s going on

guys?”

Agent R took Agent Reds suit jacket off of the coat rack and tossed it to her. “Road trip. Suit

up.”

*****************

Agent R, Agent Red, Galnaav, and X stood in the shadows a little ways away from the entrance

to Furinkan high with S-Ranma and Claw. S-Ranma and Claw looked completely unimpressed.

“Okay I get it.” Claw said. “But I don’t sere how that couldn’t have just been explained with

words.”

“I don’t see the attraction personally, but y’know, whatever floats your boat eh. So you guys are

saying that you’re in love with Akane?”

Galnaav instantly became defensive. “What? No! That uncute tomboy?”

“Hell no.” X claimed. “Not on your life.”

Red and R responded simultaneously with their thumbs down and a negative buzzer sound.

S-Ranma and Clawe became flustered. “Then what the hell were you trying to show us with this

display?” S-Ranma demanded.

X looked pensive suddenly. “Well clearly this whole multiverse thing is going to take some

getting used to. Cause where most of us came from this is NOT something that any of us could

even FATHOM seeing happen.”

Claw slumped down against the wall annoyed with how long it was taking for his colleagues to

get to an explanation. “Dudes. Guys. Seriously. Can we cut to the chase?”

Red perked up at the use of the words ‘dudes’ and ‘guys’ and said. “Most of us can’t stand Akane

Tendo.” S-Ranma and Claw finally looked like that understood to some degree. Red continued.

“See, what we were planning on you seeing here was Akane fighting almost all the boys in

school including Kuno. In most of our worlds, if not all of them, Kuno made this challenge that

Akane would only be allowed to date them if they were to defeat her in combat. Plus we would

never be caught DEAD doing something like that with her.” Sher said with more than a little

disgust in her voice at the scene in front of them.

S-Ranma and Claw gave a collective “Oh.” as they stared at the scene in front of them.

The local Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendo were sitting under a tree together, snuggling and

feeding each other their lunches while whispering sweet nothings into each others ears. Kuno

was nearby at a table watching forlornly while he read a school book, and occasionally pushed up

his glasses.

“Okay so this isn’t the reason we thought that they would never get together. But clearly they are

in love.” X said. “Their thoughts are all over each other. It’ll still be one helluva task getting

Akane to fall in love with Kuno, let alone stop liking Ranma to such a disgusting degree.”

“We need a plan.” Red said. Looking thoughtful.

S-Ranma sniffed in disdain. “I still like my idea. Send her roses, and chocolates and shit in

Kuno’s name. He clearly likes her.” He noted, pointing at Kuno who had his eyes on Akane.

“No.” Galnaav said. “Needs to be more drastic than that. We need to give Kuno a whole

makeover or something. Look at him. He’s even more pathetic than on our worlds.”

S-Ranma snickered. “Of course the woman’s first thought is a makeover. How fabulous.”

Galnaav glared as S-Ranma. “Normally I would drop you on your ass right now but I’m trying to

be serious about this. I’ve got family to get back to too.”

X nodded. “You’re right.” He said.

“Who?” Red asked.

“Both of you.” X replied. “I think this is going to be a two or three step process. I definitely think

that we need to revamp this worlds Kuno into something Akane can love, and maybe tokens of

affection will help to some degree but I think there’s another even more important step that we

have to get done first.”

All the Ranmas stared intently at X as he let it hang there for a moment. Then Agent R looked

back mischievously at the loving couple they were stalking as he understood where X was going

with his train of thought. “We have to make Akane hate Ranma.”

S-Ranma smiled. “Oh this is going to be fun.”

Author’s Notes: (Okay so here’s chapter three. Funny, cause I wasn’t even planning on writing

this at all tonight as it’s been ages since I did any writing for any of my fanfics. But all of a

sudden I started reading all this and I just got to thinking and BAM! Before I knew it I was typing

too. So here it is. Enjoy. I think I’ll be writing more in the next little while.)
