"So Mom what was it you wanted to talk to us about?" Ranma asked, as he shut the door behind him, leaving his Mother, Sheila and him in privacy.

"Well Ranma, to make it short, after a long discussion with your Father, I now understand what my unmanly husband's full intentions were the entire time." Nodoka sighed.

Ranma rolled his eyes. "I kinda think I know, but go ahead."

Nodoka went into detail about her talk with Genma, and Ranma's expression darkened, then he face-faulted, and looked green at some points. Sheila held Ranma's arm tightly, hardly believing such things were true, but considering Genma's rep she'd heard from many sources.

Ranma's eye twitched. "That fat-assed, gluttonous...Son of a panda bitch...Mother-****ing bastard! She he WAS just using me as a pawn to mooch off of while he and Soun sat around getting fat and happy...and if what else you said about them was too. Oh god I wanna barf...”

"No kidding." Sheila murmured in agreement.

"And, as it pains me to say this. Ranma, you'll need to renounce your name as a Saotome. Genma's foolishness to engage you to so many girls will continue to make things difficult and you do not need the added weight of our family's stained name. Sheila-san if it isn't too much to ask, could Ranma take the name Silvear instead of you taking the Saotome name?"

Sheila blinked at that as she didn't quite expect that. She looked at Ranma to get his opinion and he smiled at her. "Hey Ranma Silvear doesn't sound like a bad name, if you don't mind Shechan."

Sheila smiled and kissed him on the nose. "I'd be honored if you took my family name Ranchan."

Nodoka smiled. "Well now that, that matter is settled. Let's go proceed with the trial now! The sooner we finish this, we can handle the problem with that nasty Gothwrain, and then get you all that need to be married!"

Both Jagweres chuckled sheepishly as they followed Nodoka out of the room and toward the Dojo.

In the Dojo, bound by chains and being held at weapon-point by Gar, Onoli, Thropan, Brianna, and Tigra, Soun and Genma were scared. Especially at the girl with all the heavy hardware aimed at them.

Clapping her hands to get everyone's attention, Julia cleared her throat. "There's no need for introductions, nor for a long speech, we know why we're here, and why the guilty are here. This trial is to fairly give everyone a chance to plead their situation because of what these two morons have done, so that we all can decide on a suitable punishment fitting of each individual crime they have committed to us all."

Genma and Soun sweat-dropped, there was a LOT of angry glares at them.

Just as the 'trial' was about to begin, Julia noticed as three more forms entered the Dojo, Charlotte, Carla, and Luan. Motioning them to sit in the back, Julia looked over at her daughters. "First witnesses. My daughters Britanny'Gia Elin Diggers and Gina Babette Diggers."

Thropan blinked his eyes. "Her middle name is Babette?"

Theo, with Flaming Skull of Death, hovered slightly over to Thropan. "You have a problem with that?"

Seeing Thropan shake his head vehemently, Theo decided to let this slide.

The two Diggers sisters stood in the Dojo while everyone was staring at them. Gina decided to go first. "Well, my problem is rather straight forward. Because of the lust dust of those two idiots, I ended up getting screwed by my boyfriend Ryan, and an acquaintance of mine, Thropan." Sighing, she said, "I will admit, I did enjoy it, so that wasn't the issue. The real problem however, is that I ended up pregnant from the situation do to the fertility drug in that dust, and I have no clue as to who the father of my child is."

Taking off her glasses to wipe a cloth on them, Gina continued, "While I do not really see having a child as a bad thing, it is going to require the majority of my time. Simply, I just wasn't ready to settle down yet, but it looks like I will have to. I just can't drag a baby all over the world with me to expeditions, can I? Simply, I can't. I would never want to put my child in that sort of danger. So I am going to have to quite my profession that I loved and excelled in for so many years so that I can raise my child."

All the women present glared at the two bungling Patriarchs; Soun and

Genma, because of them, a hard-working woman was going to have to stop working prematurely so she could be a mother.

Then all women present, (except Julia, though Theo was picking up her slack) glared at Thropan and Ryan. How DARE these two gang-bang that one woman? In effect, Ryan found himself scooting away from the ladies he was sitting by slightly, while Thropan was standing where he was by the two idiots nervously.

Sighing, Britanny knew it was her turn. Coughing slightly into her hand to clear her voice, Britanny began. "Hello. My situation, as you know is similar to Gina's. I was there at the bar, had been exposed to the lust dust, and also got screwed by two men. My husband, and my friend, Gar.

Blushing a deep shade of crimson, Britanny continued. "Like Gina, I don't like to admit it, but I feel I should. While I enjoyed the pleasure immensely, the outcome is not what I like. I'm pregnant. While It makes me ecstatic on some levels since I've been trying to for some time, it saddens me that there is a chance it is not my husband's..."

Britanny began sniffling, but noticed her sister Gina place a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Thank you."

"No problem, sis."

With a sad sigh, Britanny continued. "By husband, Strype means the world to me. The very notion the child I'm carrying is not his is almost appalling to me. Damn it, I tried for so long and so hard, and not my child might very well be my friend's and not my husband's. I failed my dear Muffin..." It was then that Britanny broke down into sobs. Strype stood up and walked over to his wife, hugging her.

Gar had to avert his eyes away from the scene. He began to feel ashamed of himself. He had done Britanny quite a few times that night... And now since she was pregnant, there really was a good chance that it was his child.

All the women were glaring hard at Soun and Genma. Because of those two idiots, they possibly ruined a marriage and caused this poor woman so much emotional grief. With just this, everyone was thinking of a verdict of 'guilty'... However deciding the proper punishment... Not THAT would be the problem...

Clapping her hands once to gather everyone's attention, Julia spoke again. "As you can see from my two daughters' situations, their lives have been thrown for a loop because of these two and their 'lust dust'. And thoroughly, I am not happy about it." Sighing, she said, "As you can see, while others that had gotten pregnant can get their situations resolved with marriage, I'm afraid my two daughters are left with an emotional lurch for awhile..."

"Excuse me." Luan said timidly as she looked at Julia.

Julia blinked. "Yes, Luan?"

Her throat seemed to have gone dry, knowing she had everyone's attention. After a few moments, she was able to speak. "There's still another pregnancy that is left unresolved..."

Now that caught everyone's attention. Julia asked, "Oh? Do you mean..."

Luan nodded her head sheepishly she was blushing like mad. "Yes..." Turning to where the two men were chained, she looked Gar in the eyes. "Gar... I'm going to have your child." It was then that Gar's eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell onto his side "GAR!"

Ranma blinked his eyes. "Dang... Looks like the Silvear family has gone from two to five members all in one day..."

"And possibly up to seven when the children are born." Nabiki also said.

Looking at Brit, she then added, "Eight if Britanny's child is Gar's as well."

"Why does Kami-sama HATE ME?" Gar thought bitterly from his place on the floor. First possibly Brit and now definitely Luan? "Hoo boy, am I in over my head..."

Up in the heavens, Kami-sama himself just chuckled, and then went back to having his small break of tea and scones.

Brianna raised a hand, "Can I say something?"

Julia shrugged, "Sure."

"Thanks, I have to say this, while I'm angry at you two for what my sisters are going through, I have to say something, it's been a while since I've done either Genn or Séance, so, thanks."

"BRIANNA!!"

Brianna chuckled nervously, ".... What? I'm just being honest, it has been a long time."

Everyone else just shook his or her heads at that.

Julia decided to call the next witnesses, "Next witnesses, we have Strype'Gia-Diggers, Ryan Talbot, Ranma Saotome."

Nodoka cut in, "Excuse me, Diggers-san, it's going to be Silvear soon."

Julia nodded and smiled, "Right, Ranma Silvear, Tirga, Thropan, and Gar Silvear.

Strype decided to go first, "As most of you know my problem with this is straight forward, because of these two morons my wife's first child may not be my own. And that not only scares me, but also makes me angry. I'm scared that when the child is born and if it's Gar's, my wife might leave me, at least that's what I was worried about this morning, I'm no longer worried about that. Even if the child is Gar's, I'll stick by my wife, but I'm incredibly angry just the same." Strype's eyes narrowed at the two idiots. "You two hurt my wife in more ways than I can imagine, as far as I'm concerned, (even though I hate violence) you two are lucky to be alive right now." And with that he went over to his wife and hugged her, which she reciprocated as she had tears of joy rolling down her face. It didn't matter whose child it was, Strype would be there for her and that's all that mattered.

Everyone, save the idiots, smiled at the heart-warming scene. It went on for a few minutes until Julia decided to get this on. "Next witnesses please."

Tirga went next, "Well, I'll go next, anyways, I know I'm a playboy, or used to be since I'm going to be a father, I've decided to clean up my act." At that point nearly everyone said, "Good for you." Blushing he continued, "Yes, anyways, the point is, while I do not mind what happened like some people do I am still upset with the fact that I'm going to be a father before I'm ready. The real reason I'm upset is that what happens if I'm on duty and an enemy of mine shows up and attacks Kasumi or our child, then what? If that happens I don't know what I'll do." Kasumi smiled and walked up to him and gave him a really big hug, which was returned.

The hug didn't last very long, and Ryan went next, "Um, I'm going to be speaking for both Thropan and myself, is that alright Thropan?" He nodded. "Okay, I have to say this," pointing a finger at the two idiots, he said, "You two are the most irresponsible people on the face of this planet! Because of you two either Thropan or myself knocked Gina up, and while she's my girlfriend and I wouldn't mind having kids with her someday, you two just pushed things along. I really should just hurt you two, but I let the others speak first." Everyone narrowed his or her eyes at Crybaby and Dum-dum, who felt like trying to will themselves out of there.

Gar was next, "My problem is similar to Ryan's, Thropan's, and Strype's, I'm really embarrassed about this but the night I got hit with that dust I well," he blushed a deep red, "did Britanny, Carla, Luan, and Charlotte, and because of that I have at least one kid on the way, maybe more." Looking at the two with his eyes narrowed he spat, "You two better hope for your sakes that Strype was the one who got Brit pregnant and not me, while Brit's a friend, I do not want to ruin the relationship she has with her husband, nor my own friendship. I know I'm going to be a father, I don't know how good, but I'll try my best." Looking at Brit, he said, "Britanny, I don't know if you'll ever be able to forgive me if that child is mine, so I’m just going to say, I'm sorry I really wish this hadn't happened."

This pleasantly surprised a few people; Theo wasn't going to kill Gar because he knew that Gar held Britanny with the utmost respect. Julia was proud of her student, while she wasn't happy with what happened that night, at least he tried to make amends to her daughter. Brit was pleasantly shocked when he apologized, not she blamed him, but it made her feel better. "Apology accepted." Gar nodded and sat down.

Ranma went last. "Well I suppose you're all wondering why I went last."

They all nodded. Turning his attention to Genma, and walking up to him,

Ranma smiled, not a nice smile, more of a Nabiki-like smile. "Well Genma, for all that can be said about you, like being a craven coward, a gluttonous thief, and a complete idiot, you have one good thing going for you." This surprised everyone, what was so good about Genma? Genma was surprised as well; Ranma had some respect for him? "Oh don't get me wrong, I have almost no respect for you, especially after hearing about what your plans were. The only good thing about you is that despite all your faults, you're one hell of a martial arts instructor, I know I wouldn't be anywhere near as good as I am now if it wasn't for you, though whether it was because of your training or in spite of it, I'll never know."

Taking a deep breath he continued, "You made me into the best martial artist of my generation, but at what cost? Let's see, Neko-ken which drove me insane, Lion cub's training, stealing my food and calling it training, forcing me to steal, being tied to the back of a train and had to keep up so I didn't lose my legs, those fire caverns, swimming to China, preventing me from making any friends, engaging me to at least seven different women, getting me cursed, making me fight Shampoo in that tournament, forcing me to take care of all your problems from jilted fiancées to angry shopkeepers, and even Happosai. Yes you made me what I am today, but I sure as hell don't like the methods that you used." And with that he walked back over to his seat and plopped down, where Shelia gave him a hug, (there sure is a lot of hugging going around), which he was grateful for and returned.

Julia clapped her hands to get everyone's attention, "As you can see, everyone here that has spoke so far, has had trouble in more than one way, I must say not to happy with these two either, especially after all those 'training methods' were mentioned. So now…"

Romeo interrupted, "Excuse me."

"Sorry Romeo forgot about you for a moment, you may state your case."

"Thanks, I'll be quick, I'm not even twenty years old, and now I'm going to be a father, and if Gothwrain ever gets a hold of me, my children will never have a father."

Theo decided to get to the next part, "Next witnesses."

Suddenly the ground shook, and everyone turned their head towards the wall where the sound was closest, and they then witnessed the wall getting kicked in. Which revealed a full-battle garbed PISSED-OFF elderly (yet muscle-built) Giant Woman.

"Mumsey?" Julia gasped.

"GRAMMY!" The three Diggers sisters exclaimed.

"Oh hell." Theo muttered under his breath, so much for keeping things under control.

"Mrs. Brigand? How'd you get here?" Onoli asked, while looking at Mumsey, he kept his swords trained on the two buffoons.

"Woman's intuition...told me my Grandbabies were in trouble, so I went to the nearest magic dump that could tell me what was going on. And when the Seer Mage I found looked into his crystal ball." She glared daggers and all kinds of sharp objects at Soun and Genma. "AND I FOUND OUT THOSE TWO PATHECTIC EXCUSES FOR HUMAN WASTE USED A DANGEROUS LUST DUST ON MY GRANBABIES AND THEIR FRIENDS, AND NOW BECAUSE OF THEM GINA IS PREGNANT WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHO THE FATHER IS, AND BRITANNY DOENS'T KNOW IF HER BABY'S FATHER IS HER HUSBANDS, OR HER FRIEND GAR'S!! AND I DON'T NEED TO LIST OFF THE OTHER POOR GIRLS IN THEIR SITUATIONS!"

Drawing her sword, the two idiots screamed like little preschool girls, and watched in horror as Mumsey stomped over to them.

"I say we got enough evidence to convict the felons NOW ON WITH THE EXECUTION!"

"I like her style..." Ranma couldn't help but chuckle.

"Uh is like it necessary to kill them?" Moshia asked, and scooted away from all the glares she got.

Julia couldn't help but smile at her Mother's entrance and eagerness to get justice for her Grandchildren, and friends. "Well, since Mumsey has strongly suggested we hurry up...let's put it to vote...on what the punishment is."

Theo cleared his throat. "Actually, I think I have an idea."

Mumsey raised an eyebrow. "What? You’re going to let them live or something?"

Theo nodded his head. "Yes."

Mumsey rolled her eyes. "I should have known. You always try to do things 'peacefully'."

Theodore managed to look his mother-in-law in the eyes and smirk. "Trust me, 'Mumsey'... What I plan isn't 'peaceful' at all..."

This caught Mumsey's and everyone else's attention. "What do you mean?"

Mumsey asked in curiosity.

"I'm thinking of shrinking them down to 5 inches, and then sending them to Jetta and Thabian as new 'toys' for Pojo and Alera."

Britanny smirked. "You know, that sounds nice. Pojo hasn't had a toy like that since Tanya ran off."

Mumsey frowned. "Still too peaceful for my tastes."

Theo smiled. "And how about if everyone gets to beat up on them first for about a half hour?"

Mumsey blinked. After thinking seriously for a moment, she said, "Make it two hours and you got a deal."

"Okay." Everyone had identical grins on their faces as they proceeded to beat, rend, maim and just plain hurt the two idiots.
