The hallway leading to the main chamber was dark, but then again,
what should he have expected, knowing that the members of the group were
behind what would soon be happening here in Japan. It had been bad
enough that North America had set up the FBI with the long forgotten
files, and much worse that Fox Mulder, son of one of the original members
of the group, should be the one to head the organization, but the
addition of Agent Dana Skully was an unexpected detriment to the options
that the group had. She had been recruited in order to take care of
Mulders suspicians when he came across them, but thanks in part to some
incidents, a member of the original group, and the bumbling attempts of
one of the new members, that had gone horribly wrong. Agents Mulder and
Skully had become responsible for closing down many operations in the
North American Theatre of Operations.
It was somewhat unfortunate that the Japanese government had set
up their own version of the North American X-Files cases. It was even
worse that they had chosen some personnel that had many experiances with
the supernatural and thus with an ability to solve many of the mysteries
that abounded there. Worse yet, these particular people were extremely
hard to kill or dispose of, they had learned that the hard way. Of all
people, members of the Asian communities could more readily accerpt
magic, but these were the first that could defy powers far beyond any
the group themselves had faced.
The grey haired man with a slightly kind face entered the room
and removed the files that he needed from his briefcase, files that he knew
barely described the abilities of the members of the X-files team of
Japan.
Looking at the gathered lower members, he passed out the file folders
and set up the appropriate slides. Hoping that the gathered personel
would understand the extreme need for caution, he began his speach, "Gentlemen,
this briefing is to let you understand that operations can no longer
continue as they have been. As you know, the Japanese Government has
opened a mystical investigations unit in order to counter a lot of forces
that have shown themselves in the country for the past seven years. In
this case, they have recruited individuals from the Nerima district who
have certain abilities to combat what we are doing. The chosen director
tfor this new organization is a man known to us as Saotome Ranma.
Unfortunately, not much is known about his activities or what makes him
such a likely candidate for this."
A picture of Ranma showed up on the wall, showing a young man
about 25 five years of age.
"He is apparently some sort of expert martial artists and lives
with his wife, Satome Akane, who also happens to have been recruited for
this group." A picture of Akane and Ranko is shown. "The second girl is
Ranma's sister or cousin, it hasn't been determined to anyones
satisfaction as to who she actually is, however..."

"The truth is stranger than you ever imagined..."
Tokyo Police, Operations Centre fifteen, 10:25am
Ranma looked over his desk and into the investigative unit
offices of the magic specialist division of the National Police. Smiling
to himself, he realized that he was feeling at home here, something that
he didn't think would have been possible given how he had been chosen to
head this new group. He had literally been blackmailed by members of the
government to head this organization.
Then again, Kuno was a relatively sane individual these days,
although the same could not be said of Kodachi.
But still, lloking over the desks and the nametags, he couldn't
help but wonder about the people he was going to be leading.
Akane:
His wife and best friend. She was the one true constant of his
life, although they had learned that having children would be hard, if
not impossible for the two of them. The solution that Dr. Tofu had come
up with had scarred Ranma, and he wanted no part of the plan that Akane
had come up with.
Ukyo:
Older, thougher, and more masculine than ever, Ukyo had accepted
herself for who she was and learned to live with the situation. But
shear effort, Konatsu had finally gotten Ukyo to marry her and for the
two of them to settle down. She had learned a lot about magic somewhere,
although the magic was of a strange sort.
Mousse:
Mousse was a bit of a mystery oeveryone connected with the unit.
He had changed a lot, going into much more modern clothing and cutting
his hair relatively short for him. There was a deep pain hidden in his
eyes, and hidden behind the dark glasses he had taken to wearing since
Shampoo had died. There were times that Ranma wished he could have
gotten through to the warrior, but then Mousse tended to travel a lot to
try to forget his pain.
Unfortunately, Mousse would never forget the pain or take back
his declared vendetta againsts the people who had caused her death. If
he had his way, the villagers would have been destroyed along with the
old matriarch who had caused his beloved's death. The scary part was that
he would have rather died than live with his pain, although he had not
found anything that could actually kill him as of yet.
