Jewelry Store Owner

Derek bet Serena that he could make Shampoo and Akane friends. To accomplish this he appeared before them as a jewelry store owner and gave them the Friendship Bracelets when they agreed to put aside their hate for one another. He later appeared before Perfume as Ukyo trying to convince her to grab one bracelet after he sent the other to the real Ukyo as a present from Ranma.
He appeared before Perfume again this time as Nabiki, to get her to place the bracelets on Akane and Shampoo. Telling her that he would explain it to her later, but it needed to be done.
Akane and Shampoo found tooth and nail not to be transferred to the original universe. This played havoc on the void between worlds. While Derek expected this he didn’t plan on the level of damage they would cause. Though he didn’t seemed to be to worried.
Derek began subtly leading the original counterparts such as Bu Xiang to Nerima. While Serena was worried about how the meeting with Kodachi went Derek knew he could take care of himself. He had to eventually appear before a stubborn Ranma as Nabiki.
Ranma was in denial that these weren’t the original Akane and Shampoo. Derek tried to convince him otherwise but Ranma wouldn’t budge so Derek convinced him to go watch the two train and see for himself. However all that did was make Ranma more determined even though everyone told him they needed to go home the fact that they were forced to admit that they did have memories of this world removed any doubts. Running out of time he just appeared before everyone and told Akane and Shampoo where they could find the bracelets.
Though Ranma remain stubborn he was able to convince everyone else. Derek revealed who he was to Ranma when he ended up in Shampoo and Akane’s dimension. However since it was still too soon to give him full details he only told him his name while making references to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and a cryptic description of his nature as a Guardian to all of his other questions. Derek main concern was to give Ranma someone to talk to as he was finally accepting what was going on. He left to deal with stop someone from causing an anomaly though it’s unknown if he was joking or not.
For Derek’s final act he sent Ranma a final message congratulating her for making it to that universe, as well as warning her that this wasn’t free ride she would have to work to earn her keep.
