| Epilogue |

 

“AAAHHHH!” Urd screamed in pain as she tried to take deep breaths. Right beside her was Ranma, wearing a blue surgical cloth over him, a shower cap and a mask. “I can't take it any more! DRUGS! PAINKILLERS! I need THEM!”

 

“Urd, we started already,” Ranma began. “Just take deep breaths! Pretend it doesn't hurt...”

 

“IT DOES HURT!” Urd shouted. “I - NEED - PAINKILLERS! AAAAAHHHHHH!”

 

“Come on Urd, take a deep breath. Breath! Breath! You're going to push soon, and the doctor said it will all be over... breath, breath!”

 

Urd took quick huffs and puffs, and screamed again. “AAAAAHHH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!”

 

“Of course you can...” Ranma said, trying to ease her pain. “It's like bite of an ant...”

 

“It's not!” Urd retorted angrily.

 

“It is a bite of an ant!” Ranma said, trying to make her angrier. People seem to block of pain when they are angry.

 

“IT'S NOT! HOW CAN A BITE OF AN ANT FEEL LIKE THIS!” she bellowed and gave a very powerful punch to Ranma. It was so powerful that Ranma flew off a few inches before landing to the ground hard. Ranma rubbed his cheek. His wife could really punch.

 

He stood up weakly and groaned, still rubbing his chin.

 

“I'm sorry,” Urd said, her face contorted in pain. “Hold me Ranma...”

 

Ranma held her close to his heart and eased her by whispering things in her ear. “Hush, Urd, we'll get through...” He looked pleadingly to the doctor.

 

The doctor nodded. “It's in position. When I tell you, push...” and the doctor paused. “Alright now!”

 

Ranma urged Urd to push as and Urd screamed in pain. “AAAAAAAHHHHHH!”

 

“Take deep breaths, Urd,” Ranma pleaded. “We are going to push again...”

 

“NO! I cant take it anymore! I need the drugs!” Urd pleaded, her face a mask of pain.

 

“Urd, bear it...” Ranma said. The doctor gave another signal. “Alright! It's time to push!”

 

Urd took a deep breath, and pushed, screaming as the pain became so intense! “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

 

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” Ranma screamed as well as Urd screamed in his ear. “I'M GETTING DEAF! CANT IT COME OUT YET?!”

 

And just like magic, Ranma's wish came through as a cry of a baby was heard and all Urd's pain seemed to vanish.

 

“It's a girl!” one of the nurses said. Ranma almost cried. His eyes watered as he looked at Urd.

 

“It's a girl...” Ranma said.

 

Urd smiled. She looked up in the sky, and said, “Thank you Father...”

 

=Urd's Room=

 

They were currently in a hospital reserved for deities and demons that have emergencies. After a month of blissful of making Love Tsunamis, Kami-sama granted Urd to have children, and to Urd's pleasant surprise, she found out that her stomach enlarged after two months. She was all giddy.

 

It's been 9 months already, and Urd was taken to the hospital five times already. The first four were false alarms, but the last one was for real and Urd suffered about three hours of intense pain until finally, her pain and suffering were worth it as she was lying on the floor, awaiting her baby.

 

Ranma was nervous as Urd, waiting to see their child. In the foot of Urd's bed were gifts for the baby, like rattles, a foldable crib and a stroller. Some of them had clothes, and others had dolls.

 

“Here is you're baby, all clean and washed,” the nurse said.

 

“Oh, let me see!” said Ukyou.

 

“Me too!” Mara said.

 

“Mara, do be careful,” Belldandy said.

 

“Oh I will!” Mara said.

 

Urd groaned. It was bad enough that she had to suffer during the labor, but she sighed. Making a child was much more pleasurable than giving birth. The nurse gave the baby first to Urd. Ranma took a peak.

 

“Wow...” Ranma said. The baby looked exactly like Urd. She had tanned skin and white hair, and was curly. It was not as long as Urd's but Ranma knew already from the face of his baby, it would be as beautiful as Urd when it grew up.

 

The baby opened her eyes, and Ranma smiled as he finally found that the baby did inherit something from him. The baby had grayish blue eyes, and when she saw her two parents, it squealed in delight, raising it's arms and Urd and Ranma were a bit shocked to see that a tail went out of the cloth the baby was wrapped in.

 

Ranma smiled. The baby inherited two things from him. It didn't disturb him that a normal baby wouldn't be able to see her parents.

 

“Oh! It's so cute!” Mara said, smiling. She was a bit disappointed that the baby almost looked like a carbon copy of Urd, but she just shrugged. It was cute with Ranma's eyes and tail. “Let me hold it...”

 

Urd was reluctant, but nevertheless gave her friend/rival her baby. She knew Mara wouldn't hurt her baby. Ranma was their link together, and the baby was Ranma's.

 

Mara smiled as she carried the baby. “You really do look like Urd!” Mara said. “I do hope you won't act like you're mother...”

 

The baby paled a bit, and then, she threw up in front of Mara. It hit Mara dead in the face, and Urd tried to stifle her laughter as she watched Mara have a funny look in her face. She handed the baby back to Ranma who gave her a cloth.

 

“Very funny,” Mara said sarcastically as she wiped the puke of her face.

 

Urd went to full blown laughter. “It seems that it doesn't like you...”

 

“Yeah, she does act like her mother...” Mara said sarcastically.

 

“Sorry Mara,” Ranma smiled weakly.

 

“Nah, it's okay Ranma,” Mara said, waving her hand.

 

Ranma smiled at his friend. “Thanks for visiting us.”

 

Mara smiled. Ranma was so sweet sometimes. No wonder Urd would not trust Mara when Ranma was close to her proximity. She might have accepted their Union, but it doesn't mean Mara would roll and die about it. Urd had a very suspicious feeling that Mara would hit Ranma in the sack whenever she had the chance. All she needed to do was to convince poor naïve Ranma.

 

“Hey, that's my husband you're flirting with...” Urd growled.

 

Mara gave her a funny look, and glared at her which said `I'm gonna seduce him and you ain't stopping me'.

 

Urd returned her own glare which said `Try it'.

 

Ranma scratched his head. Mara and Urd still had hostilities between them, and even though they seem so friendly at times, they would glare at each other for no particular reason.

 

“Urd, what shall we call her?” Ranma asked, breaking the tension.

 

“Hmm? Oh, yeah. What should we call her?” Urd began to think.

 

“How about Dru?” Mara suggested.

 

“Isn't that a name for a boy?” Urd frowned.

 

“Nah. She's named after her mother...” Mara smirked.

 

“Excuse me? What did you mean by that?” Urd demanded.

 

“U-R-D, reverse it, you get D-R-U,” Mara smirked. “As in Dru Hill, the rap band.”

 

Urd gave her a funny look. “Very nice,” she said sarcastically.

 

“How about Rei?” Ranma asked.

 

The two antagonistic females gave him a look, which made Ranma nervous, but he calmed down when Urd stroked her chin.

 

“Not bad...” she said.

 

“Son Rei...” Mara thought about it, there was something wrong with it, but it sounded right.

 

Belldandy smiled. “Welcome to the family, Son Rei...”

 

=Outside the room=

 

Skuld was there looking in the ceiling. Being around Ranma and Urd, and Belldandy and Keichii was. It may seem Mara would be good company, but she too was taken in by Ranma. Almost all her friends [friends of Belldandy and Urd actually] had boyfriends. She sighed miserably.

 

She had a photo in her hand. It was buds walking away. The picture was taken by a camera during the union. It was the best she saw so far.

 

The picture had Buds with his back mostly shown, and his face was seen. It wasn't his whole face, but his left side was seen. It was an upper photo and it looked like Buds was looking if anyone was following him. She sighed. The tanned boy hid his bulk well with his clothes, and he absolutely dashing. Red suited him.

 

Skuld sighed again. He never appeared again after that. It was kinda nasty surprise when Ranma opened the mysterious package. He jumped up to the ceiling when he saw the kitten.

 

Ranma now could control his fear as he was learning the real Cat fist using Bast's manuals. The kitten was needed and Skuld wondered if Buds really knew what Bast was going to give that's why he gave a kitten.

 

Buds... Omega X... Buds... Those names always repeated in her head. She wanted to find him. She needed to find him...

 

=A few years=

 

Nodoka Saotome was looking at her mail. So far, she received 14 different mails, and most of them were Junk Mail. She sighed. She missed her son, and she didn't know where he was. Hope was fading away.

 

A package caught her eye. It was big, and wrapped. It seems like it was wrapped, and judging by it's size and width, it was a book. She shrugged. It didn't seem to have a return address, and when she opened it, she gasped. There was an envelope there and the book was not a normal book. It was a photo album. In front of the album was a very beautiful woman with a white gown. She had platinum white hair, and beside her was a young man. He was handsome and looked very manly in did. They both had smiles.

 

Opening the envelope, there was one paper.

 

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Dear Mom,

 

Sorry for not trying to locate you sooner. It's been a busy life for me.

 

I can't write much of a story, because there are many things going on. First, my old man died and did some things which complicated things a bit.

 

Please visit us, mom. I'm writing the address where I can be located at the bottom of the letter.

 

As you can guess, I'm married. She's wonderful woman and I don't know what I'll do without her. I sent a photo album there to show you what happened, and show you my daughter Rei. She's a copy of Urd, my wife.

 

Anyway, I hope this comes to you intact. I used one of Urd's friends (I think Mercury was his name...) to deliver it to you.

 

I hope you come soon. There are so many things I have to tell you, and I know that there are many things you want to ask me.

 

Your Son,

Ranma

 

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

 

Nodoka looked at the cover of the photo album. (So that is Ranma...) Nodoka thought. Then, she remembered something. The Uniting of the Tendo and Saotome School...

 

She looked at the photo again. (They look so happy together...) Nodoka thought. (My son is so manly...) And she proceeded to open the photo album.

[Picture of Rei and Ranma doing a kata...]

 

It's not so hard to be

I can see in my dream, I know I'm gonna be better

My friends always say

 

[Picture of Chibi-Usa and Rei together with Urd and Ranma in the background]

 

My friends always say..ey..ae.

That every thing will be ok

But it don't always work out that way

Show in my famagam'

Me living in, cuz I'll remember when baby

 

[Picture of the Senshis without their fukus. In front of them were Rei and Chibi-Usa]

 

I've had, the time of my life,

Everything is right, with you

After all that I've been through(yeah)

I ain't try to loose

This time of my life, with you...

 

[Picture of Urd smirking as she pulled Ranma and Rei by their tails...]

 

Nodoka sighed as she closed the photo album. They were happy together, no need to tell Ranma about the other engagement with the Tendos. After all, she got what she wanted. A grandchild!

 

Nodoka packed her bags. She was going to unite with her son...

 

=Belldandy's Place=

 

Ranma sighed. Urd stopped going to school since her condition, and Ranma, with the help of Keichii passed High school and was about to attend collage with Keichii. He was 22 years of age, a father of a very healthy and cute 5 year old. She had Ranma's learning curve as she learned most of the basic katas after being shown twice.

 

Ranma was also the husband of the sexiest women in the universe. Plus a scholar grant and him taking planning to be a sensei, what more could he ask.

 

He smiled as he watched Rei chase Chibi-Usa around. It seems that Rei's friend was from the future, daughter of Mamurou and Usagi. HE didn't think much about it.

 

Behind him was the untransformed Sailor Senshi. They visited many times now that Chibi-Usa wanted to visit Rei and play with her. The Senshis and Ranma grew slowly into a friendly relationship, and so did Ranma and the Juraians.

 

Suddenly, someone entered the grounds. She looked at the young man sitting in the porch of the house. She smiled, and ran towards him. “Ranma!”

 

Ranma looked at the woman with short dark hair. It was almost a shade of red, and her face was exactly like the one he had. The picture was given by Setsuna who told him about his mother. He smiled and ran towards her. “Mom!”

 

That day, son and mother reunited after 16 years.

 

=Asgard=

 

Urd was in Kami-sama's office, looking determined. She waited patiently until Kami-sama stopped writing.

 

“Yes, Urd?” Kami-sama asked.

 

“I want to be re-instated as a mortal...” Urd said simply.

 

Kami-sama raised his eyebrows like he didn't expect this. “Why?”

 

“I will not watch Ranma grow old and die. If he will die, I want to be beside him,” Urd said simply.

 

Kami-sama stayed silent for a while, punching a few buttons in his keyboard. Two files appeared from his desk. He paused, looking at the first file. He opened it, and smiled a bit. Urd couldn't see the smile now that Kami-sama was back in his office, and there was light distorting most of his features.

 

He threw the file to Urd. Urd looked confused and opened it. Her eyes widened.

 

“Tell him that we never had a Saiyan Kami in a while,” Kami-sama said. “Tell Ranma a position is offered to him after he finally wants to settle down. I believe you are pregnant again.”

 

Urd blushed a bit. “I will tell him... Thank you Father...” and she turned around and had a big smile in her face. With Ranma as a god, he would be immortal as well, like her.

 

“Tell Skuld to come in please,” Kami-sama said.

 

She exited the office, and saw Skuld. Urd nodded and Skuld entered. Skuld entered and bowed respectfully to her Father. She walked slowly towards his desk.

 

Kami-sama looked at her, his expressions hidden. He finally spoke. “I obtained a few information regarding the mysterious anomaly which showed himself more than once...” he paused. “Omega X seems to be a Higher Level Being which we call `Authors'. They have powerful magic abilities; seemingly that imagination is their only boundaries. Omega X lives on another plane, and so do other Authors.”

 

Skuld listened with rapt attention. The boy, a HLB? HLBs were supposed to be rare. They are rumored to be more powerful than Kami-sama as well. “Father, did you find out anything about Bud... Omega X?”

 

Kami-sama smiled a bit. “Yes. Which is why I called you. Omega X proved to be very powerful. He messed up a few scenarios which endangered Ranma and Urd...” (Although I have to admit, without those scenarios, the love between Urd and Ranma would not have bloomed...) Kami-sama thought. “Which is why he needs to be punished. I need you to destroy him.”

 

Skuld exited the room with a unreadable face. In her hand, she had a file, and she walked slowly towards the wall.

 

“Skuld, you okay?” the secretary asked.

 

Skuld whimpered and her eyes watered. She went down to her knees and cried.

 

“My only love...” she began. “My only enemy...” and she sobbed.

 

=Kami-sama's Office=

 

Kami-sama sighed. He must have upset Skuld really hard, but if she only knew that the other plane had also multiple dimensions. There was not one Omega X but many.

 

The phone beside him rang, and he answered it at once. “Hild...” he said.

 

“Well, looks like you are using my information to good use,” Hild on the other line said. “What are you planning?”

 

“It seems that this Omega X is responsible in creating the Zero Incident, where another Ranma killed himself to save the world,” Kami-sama said. “He also has his other selves sent to other scenarios. One of them, which he calls Omega, has himself situated as a symb-demon with tentacles. Another is where he and his friend are pitted against the Senshi in Me Against All Odds... It was funny.”

 

Hild laughed. “I read that as well. Well, are you doing anything?”

 

“Reading Gaijin by Carrot Glace,” Kami-sama said. “Interesting fellow he is.”

 

“Well, don't let me disturb you...” Hild said. “Going for another bet?”

 

“Sure. I bet Skuld would disobey my orders and not kill Omega X,” Kami-sama said.

 

“And I'll bet that she will follow her orders... after she had her cherry popped,” Hild replied. “Same amount as before.”

 

Kami-sama smiled. “Alright...”

 

Unknown to them, another Omega X was laughing at the scenario. It was the start of Project III.

 

The End
