Disclaimer: Okay most of the character's used in this part are mine....but after that... well I will be borrowing heavily. I know it doesn't look like it yet, but trust me this will be a Ranma 1/2 fusion story... thanks -Broken Far a way and years ago.... On a balcony over looking a vast city, a tall, solidly built man stood. His hair was dark, long, and unusually spiky. He was dressed in silver armor that covered his chest and expanded with golden shoulder guards. He gazed up at the cool night sky impassively. It was almost time. He could feel it in his bones that never again would he gaze up at that sky. He snorted to himself at the sentimentality of such a thought. He was a proud warrior, of a proud warrior race, and had no use for such musing. Still, his gaze never wavered from that clear sky with its pale quarter moon, and he could not help but feel regret that it would all end tonight. He heard footsteps approaching from behind him, but did not turn when they came to a stop not far from him. He knew who it would be, the scientist Peaz. Under normal circumstance, he would have had nothing to do with the weakling. A scientist. The very thought of one of his race turning form battle to such useless pursuits left a bad taste in his mouth. He stood silently, pointedly ignoring the newcomer. Many seconds passed before the scientist finally spoke. "Lord Korn," Peaz said, his voice betraying none of his nervousness. "The preparations are complete. Everything is set, all we await now is a time frame for initiation of the project." Korn turned a stern gaze to the scientist, causing Peaz to swallow slightly and take half a step back. "Tonight," Korn said, then went back to watching the sky. "Tonight?" Peaz repeated incredulously, his fear momentarily forgotten. "But my lord surely..." Whatever he was about to say was cut off as a beam of yellow energy barely missed his head. Instead it hit the wall behind and left a head sized, smoking hole. "Tonight," Korn repeated lowering his hand. He had not even turned his head. Peaz swallowed then nodded and turned to quickly leave. Korn continued to watch the sky, awaiting. As he expected not long afterward he heard another set of footsteps approaching. This time, however, Korn smiled slightly to himself. "So what’s the rush that we have to launch tonight?" came a sour, slightly annoyed voice from behind him. Korn glanced over his shoulder, to a man that would pass for a much younger version of himself. "Tonight’s the night, Cabbash," Korn said to the younger man. "I can feel it in my bones." The younger man snorted. "Even if that’s true I don’t see why we’re doing this," the man, Cabbash, replied. "I say we fight. If you’re right and he’s coming to destroy us all then I say we get him first. Even HE can’t take all of us." "Maybe," Cabbash said. "But I doubt it. I doubt we could convince anyone there is a reason to fight. We have served him long and faithfully, so I doubt they would believe he would destroy us." "Then we should go to the king," the young man said. "The king knows," Korn replied. "He has his own plan." "Then maybe..." Cabbash began. "No," Korn said turning towards the young warrior. "We can’t defeat HIM, at least not yet. That’s why we have chosen this course. It allows for our survival, and our vengeance." Cabbash scowled and folded his arms, and smirked. "Well if you’re set on doing this I guess there’s nothing left to say," Cabbash said then started rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "And I always did want to rule a world of my own. What’s it called again?" "Earth," Korn said. "E-yarth eh?" Cabbash laughed. "Well anyone who would name their planet something so stupid is just begging to be taken over. Well if we’re going to do this I suppose I should get going." Cabbash turned and started to leave. He was stopped by Korn’s voice. "Cabbash," the younger man stopped and inclined his head to look over his shoulder. "Watch out for your sister." "Don’t you mean take care of your sister, father?" Cabbash asked. "No son, I mean watch out for her," Korn said seriously. Cabbash smirked and raised his hand to wave at his father as he walked away. Once alone again, Korn turned to gaze up to the sky again. "Very soon now," he said to himself. In the hanger Cabbash walked in to the hanger still wearing his smirk. With in was a large ship. As a rule, his people did not use such things. Their space pods usually served their need. This, however was a special mission. Peaz was there yelling out final orders, and pulling at his hair in frustration. "Is the cargo loaded?" Cabbash asked walking up to the scientist. He smirked as the weakling jumped, not having heard the warrior approach. "Yes, the children are all loaded on board," Peaz responded, he looked down at his not pad. "All are in cryo sleep in separate pods." "Good," Cabbash said and gazed up at the ship. He noticed some lettering over on the hull. "Bella’s Boat?" "Well, eh, her highness insisted on the name," Peaz said sweatdroping . "Where is my darl’n little sister now?" Cabbash asked with a roll of his eyes. Peaz momentarily look relieved that the larger warrior was not angry at the name. "She and the girl Peppria were the last ones loaded on," he said. "They have been put in cryo sleep in the crew area, but I they haven’t undergone the treatment yet." Cabbash’s eyes narrowed. "What treatment?" he said dangerously. The scientist paled and stepped away. "W-well since the point of this mission is secrecy, I thought that it would make it harder for HIM to find you if I suppressed some of our abilities and traits. So I have put a damper on the baby’s power and removed their..." "You did what," Cabbash said snatching Peaz up by the collar. "I thought it would be a good idea!" the scientist said in a panic. "It’s temporary, as soon as you land on the planet it can be reversed with this!" The scientist fished around in his pocket and offered the warrior a small round devise. "This will remove everything I did," he said. "I gave one to both your sister and the Peppria girl." Cabbash took the devise, then tossed the scientist to the floor. "I thought it would be a good idea," Peaz said hastily. "Well here’s what you get for thinking," Cabbash said, then raised his hand and obliterated the scientist with an energy blast. He then turned to the sweating technicians. "Load me in now and then launch," he said. The ship blasted off not long after that. Just as a saucer shaped craft was coming into orbit on the other side of the planet. As it was about to engage the ship’s engines, a small, horned figure laughed, and with but a finger destroyed the Planet Vegita. The shock wave of the blast, combined with the flare of the experimental engines, ripped a hole in both space and dimension. Hurtling out of control, the ship finally appeared at what would have been the its destination had it stayed in its own universe. Internal fires cause by the chaos caused the cargo hold to explode. Most of the small life pods then drifted off into space, those inside never again to wake. A few, however crashed on the planet below and survived. Hurtaling out of control, the ship crashed into the ocean, its three sleeping crew members, still held safely in their suspended animation pods, and sank into the cold sea.
