Author Notes:
 (1)	Working title of "A Hell of a Life" suggested by Louis-Philippe
 Giroux.

 (2)	This is a MEGA crossover, in that there are elements from other
 series, both American television, anime, and comics, involved in this
 story. To name a few, "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues", "Wonder Woman",
 "Bubblegum Crisis", "Dr. Strange", and "Kung Fu: The Original Series".
 Appendices will added to help people with non-anime/manga characters...

 (3)	Chronological Note: The time frame for this fic is tentatively
 after Japanese Volume 22, part 2, where the character of "Nodoka
 Saotome" is introduced for the first time. It's "tentatively" because
 I only have the Viz Graphic Novels up to Volume Eleven, although I
 have gone to the Ranma 1/2 FAQ, and downloaded a copy of all the manga
 summaries...
