Gau Uchiwa had work for the man before him Ryo Habuki ever since he graduated however he still can't understand the man in front of him even after all these years. How the hell he could remain such calmness even when he was in a lose-lose situation. True, for all those who witness her fall had became semi immortal but heck like the term semi-immortal means they are just human that cannot age, not immortal so they will die, not to mention the very being that kill their goddess is currently digging her way out from her cell yet he can still remain in his cold expression.
The ex-Juraian general merely looked at his fellow panic comrade with an emotionless mask. It had been millennium since he put up his infamous emotionless mask, it was not that he was not afraid but needles to say it was necessary to calm the others.
"Report." He speaks without a hint of emotion finally as the panic old scientist finally calm down a bit.
Gau sigh as he throw away the speech he prepare over night and decide to go for direct approach, "Ryo look as one of your really really old friend I am not bother even to give you some false hope, though our various scanning we are very sure the first shield is already broken, though estimate the last three shield will be destroy not longer than 672 hours."
"That means -she- will be out by this month."
"Yes."
Drawing a deep breath the blue hair general said, "Leave the repot down on my paper and continue to observed the cell while try you best to buy more time for us, do not hesitate to inform me if anything happen."
With a nod the old scientist bow and walk out from the room.
Looking at the chicken writing reports written by his fellow scientists who he don't even need to go though to know it tells only bad news, the blue hair man sink deep into his chair as he once again felt the uneasiness all those years ago when they began the war with Tokimi the Goddess of Destruction. It won't be more than a month before that bitch will once again free from the cell Lady Washu had set for her all those years ago.
The ex-Juraian general click a hidden button below his desk, as a small cube slowly rose up from the table revealing two out of the three red gems which is the power and mind gem shined with its divine light as if it was calling for her mistress. Every time he set his eyes on the gems, he couldn't help but recall the faithful day where everything ends and began.

Flash Back
*~*~*~*~
The two elder goddesses had been battling for days, using all their skill and experience they master as their sword and energy blast content clashing. To untrained eyes all those two are really fighting, it looks like a dance perform by to beautiful goddess but the truth is each swing and cut are perform carefully and well plan since they knew one single wrong move, will be their last.
"Well, Washu I must say I am impress, who would have know the Goddess of Knowledge can hold her own against the me?" Tokimi say with muse.
"One must learn after encounter countless assassins." Washu smirk as the red hair goddess adjust her blade just incase her sister launch any surprise assault.
"I see, however although I want to continue this session with you, I hate to say this must end since I got a seed to catch."
"You know that will not be possible, I will never let you touch Tsunami as long as I am still breathing."
"I agree, as I expect you not to." Tokimi smile cruelly, this had alarm Washu. But before the red hair goddess could react a group of battle cruiser type dark tree ships emerged. All the ships ware fully charge up aiming toward Washu, than only Washu realized why Tokimi had choice to fight her personally, as Tokimi was eliminate the chances Washu escape. "Goodbye my dearest sister although I enjoy you annoying resistance but I will never miss you." With that all the blast was launch at the same time all the tree ship self destruct since Tokimi not bother to look after their capacity as she overload all the tree ships usual maximum capacity in order to get the maximum power for this final attack.
However to Tokimi surprises Washu merely smirk, calmly she pulled out a tiny device from her sub pocket and push the buttons on it. When the deathly energy about connected her, the blast was immediately transfer to the device Washu had created recently to intercept any type of energy and recycle to other energy the people need. In this case it was the prefect device to trap Tokimi.
"WASHU! YOU PLANNED ALL THESE!" yelled the mad goddess as jump into conclusion like usual thinking her sister had predicted her to do such move and prepare for a counter for it which is leading her to trap herself in her own energy.
*Hmm might as well use that assumption as my advantage. It was really priceless to see Tokimi that angry. * "Why, sister dearest for your information I AM after all Goddess of Knowledge, what do you expect from me, beat you in a fair fight? Of course I will use my gargets to finish you." Washu finish the sentence with an ear-to-ear grin.
"WASHU I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS OFFENCE!"
*Wow! I really wish I got a camera to take down this moment. * "Well, that was not needed sister dearest, just remember me sometimes will be enough. You don't need to make an effort to remember me so much, since I won't miss you." Washu mock the engage goddess who is struggling out from the energy web that is generated by her owned energy. Washu pushes another button, and active the second trap to complete her plan. And silent the enrage Goddess for many, many years to come.
As Washu had predicated, using the remaining energy Washu create a four powerful seals, around the frozen Dark Goddess while she used her remaining power to sent her toward a subspace where her minions could never release nor detect their goddess.
"Lady Washu, you had succeed!" cheer the blue hair man as he walk out from his hiding toward the red hair goddess.
Washu merely just spare her blue hair mortal friend a smile before she collapse. "LADY WASHU!"
Ryo pull up the fallen goddess and found the most disturb sight he had seen, his goddess is bleeding to death.
"G-Guess like this proof reckless move without plan is fatal, I didn't realized THAT much of energy feedback from that blast." Reply Washu weakly still she managed to wink playfully hoping it might loosen up her too struck up friend.
"NO, you wait here I-I will get the medic and they will heal you!" The blue hair ex-general carries the Goddess up as he run back to the camp where his comrade had decide their final resting place or the place where they held their celebrating party.
"Medic? I taught . . ." Ryo interrupt her as he answer the unspoken question, "A group of people like me decide to stay behind since we rather to die with you."
"I see, but it was useless since my biological structure is totally different from you mortal."
"B-But there must be something we can do for you!" The ex-general eyes began to gather tears, he was not even bother to hide his sorrow as he let the tears flow freely but still he continue to push himself toward the camp as fast as possible.
"You can always monitor Tokimi for me and . . . " To Ryo surprise Washu pull his closer and kiss the obvious surprise him, during the kiss the ex-general could obviously feel a warm energy rush within her body and stay there. "I want you to get married, if fate permits your eldest daughter shall be my mother."
"T-That will be my honor." As the blue hair man finally understand her goddess had place her assents within him and will reborn as his grandchild. "But how can I be sure it was you?"
"When I reborn, my knowledge and power will separated from me, they will come with me in the form of three gems, my soul, my mind, and my power. Incase Tokimi is awaken and Tsunami is not ready, you may reawaken me with those gems."

End Flash Back
*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was so ironic, like his goddess had prophecy the eldest of his daughter would be her mother, but due to fate twisted humor his eldest daughter would die before managed to give birth to his first grandchild, and unofficially his second child Nodoka Habuki as the eldest whom he cast out of the clan due to disapproved of the man she choose. While that is not all, fate choose to humor the Habuki family with another strange sense of humor of her instate of a girl, it was a healthy young boy. Even with the gems intact he refuse to believe his goddess is the child before him.
He refuse to believe that the little boy before him was his once beautiful goddess so he had left the child goddess under that idiot son-in-law of his not to mention a coward who dare to call himself a man to torture young Ranma for goddamn ten years in his so call training trip. That was not all, by Tokimi, to feed that sorry excuse for man belly, he engage poor Ranma to multiple girls, this had causes Ranma unable to decide who he will marry afraid that other families might lose honor if he had choose. At the end as Ranma realized his feeling and prepare to confess his love, it was too late since the woman he fall in love with had been kill by the self proclaim Chinese Amazon wife of his who realized Ranma discover feeling and decide to remove the obstacle.
"I failed you my goddess, it was my fault I don't believe Ranma as your reincarnation even with the gems intact, I failed you again when I let that idiot son-in-law take you for that ten years. Now I will once again fail you if I reawaken your true self, and tell you your whole life is actually a lie. I only pray that the soul gem is powerful enough to protect you from them." Ryo speak to the gems but as usual the gems could never answer his question like his goddess could. Oddly like fate the special case that draws his attention recently seems to extremely noticeable despite all the files are the same, "The Masaki family. This is really an enigma I taught all Masaki is with Tsunami, could it be Tsunami has return?"
**
To say Katsuhito was surprise was an understatement since he was way beyond surprise, the woman who resemble Washu beat Tenchi within a minute, and that was because the red hair woman was controlling her punches and want Tenchi to feel every punches before he was send to La La land. Judging by the way the girl fight, he could imagine that she was holding so much back till even he fight her personally he won't doubt she could give him the best fight of his lifetime.
"Mr. Masaki, I am truly sorry for my daughter rather rough behavior." Say the red hair middle age woman, a beautiful one Katsuhito must admit approach him in the hospital where Tenchi stay. Together with the middle age woman was the red hair girl who resemble Washu except the eyes color, the older woman glare at Tenchi opponent a girl, "Ranma-chan what should you say?"
The red hair girl snorted nevertheless she apologize unwillingly. "I am sorry, but that punk deserved by keep calling me this Washu. I hate people keep calling me that!"
That commend had obviously earn Katsuhito suspicious, *People calling her Washu? Hmm this bares looks into. * However being Katsuhito, he always look for a chance to torture err…train his grandson so he instate of accepting the apologies from Ranma, he simply add a convenient suggestion that will definite make Tenchi fear for his life and decide to crawl under something to hide from the monster call Ranma if he is present, which unfortunately he is not. "Well, I think Tenchi deserved that too, maybe you should spar with him a few more times, than he will learn his lesson, for looking at beautiful woman and calling another woman name."
The red hair girl just turns her head and left a word that disturbs Katsuhito for knowing Washu. "Hn, if he want to be my lab genius pig I will defiantly welcome otherwise kindly tells him never to show his face in front of me. For next time I will put him into my sex exchange machine which I am sure in need of a male guinea pig."
"Ranma!" Nodoka show her daughter a disapprove look.
"Whatever, I am out of here!" Snap the red hair girl as she storm out from the room.
**
Deep within the center of earth, unnoticed by the Habuki's scientist the Goddess of Destruction conscious had been awaken for quite some times and had managed to gain the knowledge of her sister reincarnation though their blood bond. It was plain ironic to Tokimi as Washu had basically die the same time as she seal her, but Tokimi always keep her word especially a death threat.
"Washu! I will get you!" The mad goddess declare silently as she used what energy she could spare while not delaying her escape from the prison to create a short and simple message toward her minions throughout the galaxy.
"Kill whoever that might be Washu reincarnation."
**
Ranma was furious, but she doesn't understand why she was so angry about being called Washu. Every time someone call her that, she would have the odd sense of being taunt, if was as if that name mock her for some reason. The name also somehow touch something inside her, it was the same feeling she get from the red gem tone she received from her grandfather the day she declare she want nothing to do with her male side. Since she was at the topic she took out the gem as she stare at it dumbly, it was amazed her that the gem stone seems to be alive yet every test she run though the stone the result was negative in return. It was imply illogical for every time when she was emotional, all she need is just stare at the tiny red gem and she will feel as if everything will turn out fine.
"What are you looking at?" A voice suddenly interrupts her daydream as she barely managed to control the urge to jump up. She frowns as she saw who is the owner of the voice, but she ignored him and returns her gem into her subspace pocket. "Ms you still haven't answer me what are you staring at." Tenchi still used the most friendly tone he could master even she was the one who send him into the hospital.
"You know you are persistent?" Finally Ranma answer, but the tone she was using Tenchi knew if one more wrong word, he could say hello to hospital for another month.
"Well, some say it is one of my good points. Now come on I am sorry to call you Washu but really you look remarkable alike the friend of mine who is by that name."
"…Ok, but don't ever call me that name or this time I will make sure you never walk the same way after I go though with you."
Tenchi swallow hard and reply nervously "Crystal."
"Here this is what I am looking at." Ranma show the ponytail boy her gem.
"T-This is!?!" *Aren't that one of Ryoko's gems? *
"Beautiful ain't it? My grandpa gave it to me as a present. He said it was a family treasure that pass down ever since the first Habuki exist."
"You know something Ranma?"
"Yeah? What is it?"
"When I look upon this gem I got this funny feeling that a lot of trouble will soon find us."
**
Deep in one of the space bar Ryoko was furious, she conclude that all genius exclude her mother are spineless, all she asked is a to fix the goddamn device, but as soon as they know it was a dimension device. They flat out refuse to repair it and flee from their respective planet as if it was a disease. Suddenly Ryoko realized her sake was out again so naturally she order again, after what good of having tons of reward money after she turn in the most wanted criminal in the galaxy by accident if she don't spend in good old fashion sake.
"Waiter, give me another bottle of sake."
"Excuse me miss, but this is your forty bottle already."
"So, give me another bottle goddamn it, don't you see a gal need some alcohol to cheer herself?"
"Alright miss but I strongly suggest this should be the last one."
"Fine, fine just gives me the bottle will cha?"
"Here you are." The bartender put another bottle of sake in front of Ryoko as usual Ryoko grab the bottle and drink without even using a cup.
It wasn't everyday you could see a beautiful lady keep drinking like no tomorrow, due to curious one of the customer decide to asked the depress ex-space pirate about her problem. "Miss, why you look so depresses?"
Ryoko spare the guy a look though her drunken eyes as she realized the fellow was reasonable handsome, with strong and muscle body that radiate danger who is actually a complete contra to Tenchi gentle warm type. However the smile, that almost sincere smile break her emotional defense as she decides she could trust the man a little with her problem. "Why? I tell you why, this is all because of that god damn stupid device Washu had create, it not only sent all of us to this god forsake place with no way to return home. And day by day my power getting weaker, by this rate I am sure I will reduce to be as weak as that stuck up in the ass Juraian princess who might already get hold of my Tenchi virginity."
Unnoticed by Ryoko the bartender face grow darker as he heard Ryoko mention Washu. However he masked it quickly before Ryoko notice it. He decide he might able to get more information where to look for Washu which they are seriously lacking, if he is lucky he might even get the location where his goddess was seal. "Why I think you must be joking. As far as I know the one and only Washu is the Juraian Goddess, and I hear say she had die millennium ago after her final confront with the dark goddess Tokimi. Since than no one dare to used that name as they afraid of Divine wrath either from Lady Tokimi servant or Washu followers."
"What are you talking about Washu a goddess? Don't make me laugh! If she was a goddess that what make me as her daughter, a goddess too? Beside the last time I check the Juraian Goddess is Tsunami."
*Interesting, this girl actually dare to claim as Washu daughter and she also know the third goddess name which I am sure no one except those who are either those accursed remaining Juraian or followers of Tokimi knew. Maybe . . . *
**
Years of content life and death battle does tend to sharpen one danger sense, as Ryoko suddenly felt unease by the bartender intensive stare, using a bit of her power she quickly return sober and jump backward into a ready stance. "Who are you?" She was glade she found out the man intention early, since she couldn't imagine what will happen to her if she gets caught up with those nasty looking energy bolts that carve into the table and soon reducing it to nothingness.
"Hn, I was expecting the easy way but you sort of make this had for both of us. So I guess I should resort to more violent way."
Ryoko narrow her eyes as she smirk, "Well, bring it on." Without warning Ryoko release a quick energy bold to test his opponent, hoping that it could help her getting a better estimate where is her opponent skill level.
Although Ryoko was using her weakest attack but she still surprise when the man don't even bother to avoid the blast as he took the punishment as if it was nothing. As reward the man punch the off guard Ryoko. Sending the weaken Ryoko to kiss the hard wall. But that man doesn't give Ryoko time to hesitate as he launch another series of his attack. Luckily Ryoko managed to escape into the astral planet and teleport behind the man with a good distance.
Ryoko spit out the blood from her mouth, "Mind if I know what is the fellow who is going to kill me?"
"Aurin, one of the Three Knights of Lady Tokimi. Beside I won't kill you just merely maim you so you can still talk." The knight wills his weapon out from his subspace pocket as the bio weapon warp itself tightly around his hand creating a spike glove. When he finished, he attacked again with even faster pace than before.
*Damn, judging from that punch I received just now alone, I can admit that this punk could really give me a run for my money even I am not weaken without my gem. * As Ryoko avoid the series of punch and kicking she scan around the area, looking for a way to get out from the mess or at least buy her move time until she come out with a better plan. *Damn, and I swear to myself I will never use that forbidden technique again since than, oh well. *
**
Aurin was confused as the clan hair woman regains her trademark smirk even she was currently in disadvantage. Being a careful, Aurin immediately jump away when he sense an intensive power up from Ryoko.
"School of Habuki Anything Goes Final Attack!"
Aurin gasp in honor as he wonder what sort of devastating attack the child of Washu could perform.
"Run away!"
Aurin fall down hard, and hurt his neck in the process. "Oh yeah, what can I expect from the Goddess of Knowledge daughter, a fair fight?" Second later if Ryoko could see his expression she might consider fight and die in combat will be better than facing a piss off Tokimi's Knight.

Author Note:
Wow, wow, wow! I get this chapter done pretty fast for my liking but I hope you folks like it. As usual if I get more reviews and I will write faster otherwise well ^^;
To Nuki Mouse review:
Good, inovated, but somewhat confusing. Why is Ranma using Habuki as her sirname? You made it clear she still a Saotome, but she's also a Habuki?
> Well, I guess these might spoil the story a bit but this is just for you. I put Nodoka father dislike Genma to the point after he find out all those engagement, training methods and stuff, he removed Ranma from Genma clan, but Ranma sort of like to refer herself as Saotome, after all habits die hard ne? ^^ Furthermore I DID mention that she was a formal Saotome in the story didn't I?
If you didn't make it clear Nodoka was NOT Washu in adult form, I might have thought Ranma was Washu's 3rd (or would it be 4th? 5th?) child.
>Well the story title IS No need for `Little' Ranma and I think Washu trademark is hoping people would call her little Washu? ^^
Still, I like the story and look forward to reading the rest
> Thanks that means a lot you know!
