Line 11:
Partly healed and thoroughly turbocharged by the Gate's limitless ki, Ranma digs her way out of the rockfall and into the middle of the camp of four girls -- Tsuya, Kioko, Midori and Harukichi -- who have been surveilling her for a year. To her astonishment, they turn out to be her cousins, watching her on behalf of a family she never knew. They bring Ranma home to her grandmother Aiko Yamada, matriarch of the powerful and influential Yamada clan -- the family which disowned her mother Nodoka when she married Genma Saotome. Through them Ranma discovers a heritage of wealth, influence ''and'' martial arts beyond her experience.
With the cousins' help she finally makes her way to the Gate to complete the bonding process. In the process she alerts the Senshi to her existence and makes an enemy of the [[Back from the Dead|resurrected]] Sailor Pluto, who wants the guardianship back but can't understand why the Gate won't accept her. Bonding with Ranma not only gives the Gate its new guardian, it also wakes up the controlling intelligences of the <s>Silence Glaive</s> Glaive of Space and the <s>Silver Imperium Crystal</s> Crystal of Life -- and the behaviors and priorities of these non-human intelligences suggest that whatever Queen Serenity intended for their use, it wasn't their ''original'' purpose.
Complicating matters beyond [[Magical Girl]] politics, Ranma's apparent death in the avalanche on Mount Horai sets in motion events far beyond the parochial concerns of Nerima, the Tendos and the fiancees. These events involve the Yamada -- and also the Japanese government all the way up to the Emperor. And why has the Japanese National Intelligence Directorate been watching Nerima and its martial artists? What is Project Chameleon? And why is the US Navy involved?
