Prologue

War journal: 1 month after the Weddocalypse.

It's been years since I wrote one of these, enough blows to the head and you forget things like this. Pops probably thinks he did a good job, but ever since I managed to snag the cask of drowned boy water from Happosai and cure myself, things have been getting a lot clearer. It's all too clear, my memories are sharp as knives. I can even go back and relive them now if I focus on it. Kasumi had given me this diary and I never planned to write in it, but it just started happening and then I remembered him, Castle-sensei. He liked me to just call him Frank. He taught me all about the military as a favour to my old man, only pops didn't want it all see. He just wanted me to master those fighting techniques so he did something to me after. Looks like that secret erasing amazon shampoo ain't such a secret to pops. I know things now too like why I couldn't learn some things. Frank had already taught me English, Chinese and Italian and a ton of other stuff. A whole year of life lessons pounded into my head but since my memories were blocked I wasn't gonna be able to relearn them right. It turns out that the spring of drowned boy wasn't just a cure, it cursed me again to be a boy only the boy I would have been if pops hadn't been poking on me with all sorts of other curses and crazy shiatsu.

The lull here in Nerima after the wedding exploded is gon.. going to end soon. I need to leave before that and get through all the things I've forgotten. I need to deal with all of the things I can't forget… like the nekoken. I remember it in dreams now, those nameless terrors have faces with fangs, but I see it more clearly too. The monsters are just animals, starved .. horrible… poor animals. I cannot forget how to use the nekoken either and that has me worried. What if I do it by accident and somebody pays for it? My mom will understand I think. I am going to speak with her about this and about my plan. It's time to use the Saotome Secret Technique. I know just who to go to for help, Castle-sensei was great at instilling discipline. I'm sure he has more to teach me. Something else is botherin..g me though, I made that cask fly to me out of Happosai's reach before he could drink it all. I can see when I did it, but not exactly how. This could be the next step in my art but it feels weird somehow. Well, once I get out of here I can figure it out. Its not like I won't have time right? Well there's Akane stomping in with her best sumo style stealth to splash me with a bucket as one American army sergeant told me once, Time to face my world and my world to face me.

Ranma Saotome is Half a Marvel

Notes: This is the start to an idea I have had brewing for a Ranma 1/2 crossover for a long time now. I hope to have the first real chapter out in a few days.
