The next thing Ranma knows is that he is six years old again, his curse still works, though he now has control over it, he has huge ki and magic reserves, and he is in a room full of cats and not freaking out.  Ranma then remembers the past six years, he had been brought to a different dimension and reduced in age to infancy, the cats had nursed and raised him, having the interesting side effect of making him even more of a shape-shifter, able to take the form of a cat (of any type) and a cat/human hybrid (of any degree of hybridization from 0%-100%).  The cats raised him at the request of Bast, and can now control the Neko-ken.  Bast had never married in this dimension and has her eyes set on Ranma for when he grows up.  Ranma is her Avatar, then when he reaches 18, he becomes her lover, at 21 her husband, and given the chance to ascend to godhood.  Replies that he wants to help people directly first, and to make sure he does not lose touch with humanity, and that he will ascend on his 25th birthday.  Day before he turns 25 he is returned to his home dimension due to a spell cast by Cologne.  Only 25 days have passed in his home dimension, and he casts an illusion to make it look like he hadn't changed much.  He has to fight to get back to his TRUE home-that is with Bast, his wife.  Must fight off demons, his old friends, old rivals, old enemies (including Saffron), fiancees, etc. in order to get home to his wife and child (who was born two years before he was pulled to his home dimension).
