                Ranma, Scratch, Ukyno, and Lina, sensing that some thing is wrong is in the air, goes to the Dimensional Nexus. They see Ostrich passed out in front of her computer (from the effects of the “thing” disrupting the universe). After Ostrich regains consciousness, she finds herself surrounded by curious on-lookers.  She quickly described to the  rest of the group what was going on. It appeared that something was seemingly randomly changing the pasts of certain universes,  causing several key elements to be either warped or to never happen.  She  then showed them a preliminary model of the universes and the nexus: ---It is like an infinitely long axle supporting hundreds of individual universes, with Bassara's "Shadow Land" being the closest to the  "axle" ---- thus explaining why his world was ripped apart each time a  member used the warp holes. Ranma pondered all this, as Scratch and Ostrich debated on what the “thing” might be. Scratch proposed that it was a Trancendant, a being that can travel through different realities. So far, it has only attacked secondary realities, but the situation can become dire if the begin started sucking the energy from the realities it destroy.  Just as Ostrich was doing scans on her computer, an enormous rumble shook the nexus. The thing that caused this made a very brief appearance, and was gone almost at the same time it appeared. Terry, Yakumo, and Ryo also came to the Nexus after the rumble passed, and was alarmed at the events taking place. Scratch was trying to make sense of everything, as usual.
                Meanwhile, in the DB universe, Vejiitah was milling around the gravity room when a warp hole  opened in front of him, much to his surprise.  He fired a KI attack into  the void, almost hitting Ranma who was on the other side of it, with it.  Ostrich, feeling fairly agitated from the events unfolding, then reached into the warp hole, hauled Vejiitah through, and promptly began  screaming at him to be more careful.  A short, heated argument ensued,  with Vejiitah demanding to know who she was and where this place was.   Ostrich gave him a very abridged version of who she was and what was  going on and left the rest of the explaining to Ranma and the others.  She went back to work, monitoring the changes made in each anime  universe, ranging from the disappearance of Akane and shampoo, to the  bizarre event of Ryouga being born to Saiyajin parents and eventually  ruling over the Saiyan race. All the while, Ostrich continued to  mockingly agitate Vejiitah, commenting mischeviously on how handsome his  son was, to which Vejiitah told her that he would rather die than have her as a daughter in law.
                As if on cue, Trunks then appeared and  explained his presence. He too had been watching the goings on in the  space-time continuum. He noticed slight changes in the arrangement of slight spacial changes taking place before it developed to such a stage. Predicting it may have disastrous effects, Trunks took the precautions of modifying his Capsule Corp time cruiser, and hid in the time stream. From the time stream, he was safe from the changes in the multi-verse, and watched as events unfold.  As Trunks makes calculations on his palmcorder (mini-computer), Ostrich made more attempts to find out exactly what are they dealing with. Trunks finally determined that the tremors that everyone had been feeling were the result of when a change occurred in the multi-verse.  These tremors had a very destructive effect on the Nexus, throwing it off balance and causing a few cracks to appear in the very fabric of it. He came to the conclusion that a tremor or wave of just the right frequency and phase shift, when sent into the next incoming tremor, would result in a destructive interference, which cancels out both waves. Ostrich agreed to his findings and allowed him to go ahead with the  plan. Meanwhile, Scratch has his own plans on dealing with this “thing” and recruited several people to help him do something that goes against his usual behavior: saving lives. Lina was also interested in learning Scratch’s teleportation technique.
                The next tremor came, and Trunks produced a massive feedback wave (which was just as agonizing to everybody as the natural tremor) directly into the tremor. As they collided, everything suddenly became silent in the Nexus. Ostrich and Trunks checked their computer, and saw that some of the damages to the multi-verse were repaired, including Ranma’s universe and Vejiita’s world. However their victory was short-lived. Trunks failed to take into account the “spherical property" that the multi-verse and Dimensional Nexus shares, and determined that eventually, the universal tremor would come back in the other direction. At the end of the session, Ostrich, Terry, and Ryo couldn't  leave without angering Vejiitah a final time.  Ostrich called Trunks over and promptly gave him a whopper of a kiss before he left.  Vejiitah, enraged, made an attempt to seriously hurt Ostrich, but ended up informing her that Trunks was the son of a prince, while she was just a low class warrior.  Ostrich replied that those of lower stature aren't always weaker and that she wasn't as common as he may have thought, as if hinting upon something of her past to him...
