“Ans you've just agreed?” Genma frowned disapprovingly.

Typo with the first "And" there.

“If not us breaking into the center of his base -

if not FOR us ?

His hordes would overrun everything and everyone

would have, I think. It's in the past.

Then either he'd conquer the world or someone'd nuked what would be left of Tokyo.

Same here for he'd and someone'd. It's no longer a threat.

“And how it correlates with your promise to protect her?

We hadn't have an enemy worse that this one.

If she's using "grandpa" as a name, it should be capitalised and without "the" here.

The "sole" feels weird there.

General notes: I did not correct every weird phrasing I noticed. There are some commas missing or misplaced, I think. You are also using ... a lot. I'd suggest going over the entire chapter again very carefully. Perhaps you could also shorten some of the recap stuff a bit while you are at it? It's fairly wordy for nothing new happening.

Thank you, that's an useful knowledge. I don't remember it mentioned to me before.

“It's a good thing then than Ranma-kun pulled you out,”
then that

I have a bug in my brain, in the section that is responsible for the output serialization. When I'm typing, sometimes a letter "doubles" replacing a similar letter in the next word. The only rule I've noticed it's alvays vovel vs vovel and consonant vs consonant :/ There aren't typos, as sometimes the corresponding keys are on the opposite sides of keyboard. This happens regardless of language.

Whatever happens, you're just incapable of reaching the level of negative emotions Ryouga-kun brings out.

Err, yes. :oops: [glares balefully at the online dictionary] :evil:

I'm immensely grateful none the less!
You aren't supposed to do my work for me, after all. I wish I had more free time to work on it :cry:
I'll try to learn from your corrections the best as I can.

There are some commas missing or misplaced, I think.

:? Darn. OpenOffice doesn't have a punctuation checking option, unlike m$ Word.

You are also using ... a lot.

I can't get rid of this quirk of mine for the last twenty years. Pruned these in places.
Also, it is used in Russian for terminating an aborted speech. I forgot to change it to -- in such instances.

I'd suggest going over the entire chapter again very carefully.

[sigh] It always pains me to sacrifice quality for speed for I am a perfectionist. But the planned length of this story is around 50 chapters, and my life is very finite while the full-time job leaves me with painfully little free time. I'd like to learn English properly, for example -- but where would I get time for going to courses? And so on, and so forth :(

Perhaps you could also shorten some of the recap stuff a bit while you are at it? It's fairly wordy for nothing new happening.

Well, it's a "calm before the storm" type of chapter, right before the action begins gaining in intensity. The last chance for many Nerimans to have some screen time before this fic leaves Earth forever.
There are several other factors contributing:
-- It's an introduction for the readers who didn't read the Burger's and Fire's prequels (I have to take those into account).
-- It's the last chance for me to freely show the events from Ranma's POV, and delve into details of the fight and the character reactions.
So... I admit, it came out larger that I planned, but my way of correcting things is either adding more detail or rewriting whole chapters anew. I'm not that good with cutting things down. Image
