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...
To be continued….
