Next time on Family Feud
The Gemini Effect

*A month earlier in the middle of space in another realm*

"Hey Sis," called a young man. "I have an idea."

"The last time you had an idea I almost got locked away for all eternity," sneared a young girl in response.

"Hey, it isn't my fault that you terrorized the wizards we went to see!" yelled the man.

"You could have at least found some Evil wizards for me, you know," snapped the girl as she took a swing at the man. Soon the two were duking it out.

*Three weeks later, the girl is pinned down by the man in the middle of a desert world*

"Now I can finally get to my idea," stated the man.

"Oh alright," sighed the girl. "What do you want to do?"

"Lets go back to see father. Maybe he will let us play in his stupid world this time," explained the man.

"Wow, for once you had a good idea!" exclaimed the girl.

"Thanks," said the man. "I think...." he then mumbled. With that they started digging through their pockets, looking for something.

"Here's the map!" yelled the girl. "Do you have the key?"

"Give me a minute, would ya?" responded the man, sounding annoyed.

"How do you lose something like that anyway?" said the girl, staring.

"It isn't easy. Oh, wait, here it is," said the man, holding up a giant skeleton key three times the size of the Empire State Building.

"How do you keep that in your pocket anyway?" joked the girl.

"Magic my dear, magic," snickered the man. Suddenly his head jerked and his eyes went wide. "SHIT!" yelled the man as he dropped the key and started running for the nearest hill.

"What are you so worked up about?" said the girl, looking at the key. Suddenly she saw red numbers on the side of the key, counting down. Soon she was running after her brother, yelling "WAIT FOR ME!"

Seconds later the two dove over a hill, crash landing on the other side, at the same time the numbers on the key reached 0. Suddenly the entire world went dark, followed by a blinding light. When the light subsided the planet the two had been on was gone, not to mention the entire system that the planet had been in.

"Why did he put THAT in the key?" wondered the man. Then aloud, "Well, I guess we will have to knock......"

"Guess so," said the girl. "I'm just glad I wasn't carrying that."

"I wish I hadn't been either. Lets go." Said the man as he flew off. Soon the girl was following.

"Hey, wait up. I have the map, don't I?" she called, annoyed.

Back with the Mysterious Man in the present, after school had finished without further event

"What can I do to them for now?" thought the man, not noticing Akane had gotten home and was changing out of her sopping wet, filthy, and somewhat tattered clothing. She took a quick shower, and then reached down to pick up the cursed panties.

Down the hall, Nabiki had noticed a lump in her pillow and was about to grasp the cursed money she saw inside.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen Kasumi had started dinner and was reaching for the cursed pot.

Finally, the young girl had pulled out a giant pulsating hammer and was about to strike the outside of the barrier protecting the world.

The three Tendo sisters each touched their respective cursed items at the exact same moment a pulse of energy rocked the world. The mysterious man was still recovering from the energy pulse when he saw the Tendos in his mirror. The curses he had placed were being combined and amplified, and he didn't have a clue as to what would happen.

The Panties had been cursed to make the next person to touch them able to do whatever they were worst at one of their best skills. In Akane’s case, this would make her able to cook better then Kasumi.

The Money had been cursed to make Nabiki love the last person she had conned, also giving her a jealous streak long enough to wind around the earth several times. In Nabiki's case, this was Ranma as he had bought a small pouch of ordinary sand that she claimed was magic sand to remove his curse that she had special-ordered from Jusenkyo, then sold to him for an exorbitant fee.

The Pot had been cursed to make the next person to touch it unable to make anything that the last person to have eaten their cooking could eat. Unfortunately, this was also Ranma, who had inhaled some rare leftovers from breakfast before Nabiki conned him.

Finally, the energy wave had been a Quantum knock of sorts designed to get the mysterious man's attention, which it had, but that had powered up the three curses, causing them to expand and combine as well.

As the three curses expanded they met at a single point, unfortunately for Ranma that point happened to be where he was standing as he ran to yell at Nabiki about the sand not keeping him from changing into a girl, which is what he happened to be having dumped a bucket of cold sandy water on himself. The three curses energized his body, combining with his own curse. Since his curse couldn't expand outward to join the other three, they were sucked into him preventing Akane, Nabiki, or Kasumi from being cursed.

The curses, having combined in Ranma's body, caused Ranma to be able to cook better then Kasumi, unable to make anything he could eat, and caused him to love himself which was twisted by his brain into his male self loving his female self and vice versa. Meanwhile, the extra energy from the curses filled his body, causing it to explode with energy. The shock on his mind and body caused him to go into Shock as Akane and Nabiki ran from their rooms to see what the explosion was from. Kasumi, true to form, never noticed the explosion. Ranma’s body sat there, pulsing with enough energy to prevent anyone from touching him, his situation not being helped by the next thing to occur.

Across town Joe, Emeral, Kalshion, and Katarina were recovering from the blast of energy when they felt a second, closer pulse that had come from Ranma. Tommy was on the ground somewhere, knocked out from not having recovered enough strength to withstand the energy pulse.

Without warning, another energy pulse ripped through the world. The Mysterious Man practically flew outside of the world at that point to find out what was going on, seeing the young girl holding the giant hammer, and the young man trying to stop her from hitting the barrier again.

"About time you came to visit," said the old man. "What happened, did you lose your key?"

"Actually," started the boy, "the key kind of blew up on us."

"Yea," continued the girl, "taking out an entire solar system."

"Oh, I see," said the old man. "The rip in the barrier must have triggered the self destruct mechanism. Sorry about that."

"What rip?" the two said at the same time.

"Come in, I will explain..." said the old man, opening a door to a small living room with a big screen surround sound mirror in the corner. "Oh, and have some access cards. Much easier to deal with then that old key," said the man, handing them each a small credit-card like item that looked like it would fit in a small slot next to the “door”.

Soon he was filling the two in on everything that had happened.

*Five minutes pass*

“So, any questions?” asked the old man.

“Yea,” responded the girl. “Any chance we can go have fun now?”

“I agree,” added the young man. “I could use a chance to satiate my mean streak.”

“Jeremy,” inquired the old man, “since when did you have a mean streak?”

The young man was about to speak when the girl spoke up. “Since he tried to blow up Risa. I still don’t know why I stopped him.”

“Is that so Emily,” said the old man, partially lost in thought. “ Well, in that case, I suppose the two of you can go have fun, as long as you don’t do anything serious and you find some way to fit in at the same time.”

“Yes!” yelled the two, both of them pulling a hand down in a fist at the same time.

“Now go before I change my mind,” said the old man, opening a doorway to town. The two flew through it, their clothes changing to blend in as they appeared just outside of town, on the side facing the mountain. To their surprise, they had appeared earlier in the day then they had arrived, not realizing that the living room had been running backwards through time with a shield preventing the “knock” from entering.

“I figure they can at least feel the effects of those two shockwaves,” reflected the old man. “Maybe they have, however, been spending too much time with each other. It would seem their power bases are rubbing off on one another. Then again, their mother always told me that my power hadn’t been split fully between good and evil. Blast it, when you are a very powerful force in the matrix having kids can be a pain.”

In town, just after the first shockwave hit(again)

“Man Emily, did you really have to hit THAT hard?” said Jeremy just before they were belted with the second blow.

“Hey, don’t look at me,” snapped Emily. “You recommended the mallet!”

“What is this, a pretty lady I haven’t seen before?” came a voice, seemingly out of nowhere.

“Who said that?” asked Emily just before Happosai seemed to materialize on her chest. “Why you…you….” started Emily, her face contorting in anger as a black aura appeared around her.

“Uh-oh,” said Jeremy, diving around the corner.

“PERVERT!” finished Emily, using a dark punch on Happosai to send him flying through the atmosphere. The shockwave knocked several bystanders down and caused a fourth burst of energy to be felt by Joe and Emeral.

“What happened?” wondered Happosai as he crashed into the moon, and then bounced back landing on the Hubble telescope. “Oooh, goody, I can confuse the heck out of those idiot Americans again!”

Meanwhile, in America, a private had picked up the phone

“That alien appears to be back, sir,” said the private. “Shall I initiate?”

“Yes private,” said a voice on the phone.

“Affirmative,” responded the private, before hanging up. He reached over to a small red button covered with a plastic shield, lifted the shield, and pressed the button. “I hope Japan finds it this time….”

Back in space…

Happosai was busy making faces with a pair of panties on his head when a nearby satellite rotated towards the telescope, aiming a laser for Happosai’s backside. Seconds later the laser fired, blowing Happosai off the telescope. The satellite rotated again and blew Happosai back down to earth with a stronger blow. Happosai just fell, deciding to figure out how a mere girl had thrown him into space with a punch.

Emily, on the other hand, was trying to recover from her first ever experience with a pervert. Given her age, hovering somewhere around three millennia, it is a surprise that it had been her first. Something inside her had snapped, and she didn’t know what. All she knew was that she had lost control, and that she wanted to know why.
