NOTE: These are scenes that I felt like writing from my ideas page. If you like 'em, tell me and I might right more from the idea you liked. If not, then don't tell me and nothing more will get written on them unless I feel like it. There are no plans to turn any of these into fanfics. Between the +s is the original idea. Following that is the scenes for said idea. Disclaimer: I own nothing in any of these scenes. Please don't sue me. =========================== Ranma the Dragoon Ranma/Legend of Dragoon X-Over ++++++++++++++++++++++++ This is an alternate universe of bother Ranma 1/2 and Legend of Dragoon. At Jusenkyo the pool Ranma falls into sends him back in time. There while wandering through a forest lost he meets Dart and asks to accompany him to his village. The story then follows LoD until Dart is able to use the Dragon King's powers. When that happens Ranma inherits the Armor of the Red Eye Dragon. Also in this Rose falls for Ranma, not Dart. After the game part is done, we learn that the spirit of the God of Destruction is still going from body to body every 108 years, and someone needs to be around to kill it. Ranma asks and is allowed to join Rose in the never-ending vigil against the god of Destruction. Then the story jumps 1,100 years and back to Jusenkyo. Ranma disappears and then Dragoon Ranma takes his place. Ranma talks to Genma for a bit and then they move on. Ranma has plans to marry Rose (again. its something they do every couple of decades), and then Genma springs the engagements on Ranma. Ranma understandably is pissed. after all he wants to be with his wife of 1,000 years, not some unknown girl. I'll let the author decide where to go with this from here. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ From a bunch of bushes, a figure watched the pair enter the cursed springs. It surprised him that he still looked the same, even after all this time. Reaching up to his neck, he brushed his fingers over the red collar that was around his neck. Then again, perhaps he shouldn't surprise him. The magic still worked. It still needed to work; he wasn't finished yet. With his mind thinking back to his friends, he almost missed his cue. Almost. As the column of light shot out of the pool, he moved, keeping the light between himself, the man, and the panda. He needed to time this just right. If anything went wrong, if either of the men saw him, it'd be over before it started. And it couldn't be over, not yet anyway. He wanted to meet his family again. He wanted her to meet his family. The light rapidly shrunk, and he dove into the water, slipping under, but staying out of the light. He moved with the light, making it to the center just after the power faded away. He stayed under for another count of three and the pushed himself to the surface. Blinking the water out of his eyes, he looked at the panda. He could tell that tears were mixed in, but he knew that it was alright. After all, no one would be able to tell the tears from the water. He faked a couple of coughs and then spoke. "Pop? What the hell happened to you?!" The Panda blinked and opened its mouth. "Growlf?" Its head tilted slightly as it opened its mouth again. "Growlf?" It raised its paws to its face and cried out once more before turning to the man and wrappings its paws about his shoulders. "GROWLF!?" "Oh good sir," the portly man spoke, "You fall into Spring of Drowned Panda. any who fall in now turn into Panda! But good news, hot water change you back!" The panda released the man at the spoken cure. "Growlf!" With that statement the panda turned and began to walk towards the small hut at the other end of the springs. With the panda gone, the fat man turned toward the other honored customer. "You fall in spring of Drowned Hero. Very tragic story of a hero who drowned there 1,100 years ago. Any who fall in is destined to be a hero." The young man nodded slowly, almost in remembrance. "Yeah, a hero." The guided nodded and turned to follow the panda. "What is name, honored customer? I would know a hero's name." Quietly the young man spoke, squeezing the water from his pigtail. "Ranma." *** She waited down the road for him to come. It wouldn't be long, she knew, but still it pained her to wait for him. There was so much pain in her life that she needed a friend, that she needed someone to listen to her, that she needed someone to love her, that she needed him. That gave her a pause as she remembered when she first knew that she needed him. She could see that keeping the truth from them would end with her in pain. Somehow she was sure that what she was gaining would end in killing her. And when the truth came out they all forgave her, they all understood that she had done what needed to be done. But when she saw the look in the other's eyes, she knew she had lost her chance, that she had lost it forever. But as she wept in that vast desert, he came to her, he did his best to break the darkness around her. And after she snapped at him, and after with the slightly hurt look he left, she thought back to her memories of him. And she realized that since they met he had tried to get her to smile, that he had tried to break the darkness around her, that he had tried to invite her into the light. And as darkness fell that night, and she saw that he was alone, she went to him, she shut off her pride, and she apologized for her earlier outburst. And she couldn't understand why, but he waved it off. And as she was about to snap at him once more, she realized what he was doing. She realized that he considered the event never happening. And as she came from her memories and looked down the road once more, a small smile came to her face. No matter her faults, her past, or her life, he had forgiven her. And more than that, after the horrid event, he had chosen to stand with her on the lonely vigil. Tat had surprised everyone else as much as it had surprised her. But after his explanation they had to agree with his choice. It was only to their regret that they too couldn't make the sacrifice that was needed to join the watch. And as she came back from her memories and gazed down the road, a smile came to her face, for she saw him coming. And next to him was an older man whom she knew from days of following to be his father. She pushed herself from the tree she was leaning against and approached the two, not quite smiling at the younger one. She spoke only his name. "Ranma." And the cocky grin came to his face, the grin that she had learned first to hate and then to enjoy, for it was a grin he only gave when his confidence was high. And he spoke her name, and she knew all was well. "Rose." *** The trio entered the village, the younger two moving to watch a fight taking place upon a log. The older one followed, his eyes watching the couple. Things were not going according to his plan, and that wasn't good. It had to be the damn spring's fault, it had to have changed his boy. Spring of Drowned Hero. What the hell was that supposed to have done? And what was with the girl? She and the boy seemed to know each other well. That really wasn't good. The boy already had obligations and couldn't get involved with anyone else. And why the hell had the boy insisted they come to this village? Sure there were fighters here, but he had to get the boy to Tendo. There was a marriage to get on with. The schools had to be united. Turning his head to look around the village he was in, the old man's eyes stopped on a table filled with food. Covered in lots of food. So much food that he was sure that no one would mind if he helped himself to it. The old man got two steps towards it before a voice stopped him. "Hey Pops, me and Rose are gonna go look for someone, okay?" "Huh?" Genma's intelligent response gave no question to his understanding, but he shrugged it off. There was food to be eaten. "Sure thing boy. I'll be over there" Of course Genma didn't indicate just where there was, but he was sure the boy knew. Not hearing a response, Genma assumed the boy had gone to look for the person and continued towards the table. He was just reaching for a large roasted chicken when a thought stopped him. What if the boy was looking for some sort of priest to marry him to that girl. That couldn't be allowed, what would happen to his retirement? That could not be allowed. Turning from the table, Genma gazed at the crowed village. It was going to be harder than he thought to find the boy again. Best to begin as soon as possible. *** Weaving through the crowed, Ranma and Rose gazed at each face they past, looking into the eyes, and trying to find the one with the greatest spirit. They ignored the fight now, searching for the one that could help them. However, Ranma glanced toward the fight upon the long, a small frown on his face as something struck him as familiar. But he shook the thought off, leaving it for another time. Finally, Rose placed a hand upon Ranma's arm and pointed towards an old woman who was sitting upon a staff. Ranma took the woman in for sometime before nodding slightly, and the pair moved towards her with a purpose. The woman's gaze shifted from the fight to the pair approaching her. While normally she would laugh at people approaching her with such blatant confidence, something told her to be weary. There was something different about the pair, almost an aura of strength. In the end, Cologne decided to be weary. Ranma didn't beat around the bush when he and Rose reached her. "I've come for Soul Eater. It's time for the sword to be carried once more." "Soul...Eater?" Cologne's mind instantly went on guard. No one should even know of the existence of that cursed sword, let alone where to find it. It had been over a thousand years since it was entrusted to the village. "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about young man." Rose's eyes narrowed, and her voice was harsh as she snapped at the woman. "Don't you play games with us old hag. We know it's here and we need it. Now give it to us." Ranma placed a hand on Rose's shoulder as Cologne's eyes narrowed. "Easy Rose, they're just doing their job." Reaching into his shirt, Ranma pulled out a red gem that was perhaps the size of a ping-pong ball. With a slight bit of concentration the gem began to pulse with a deep red light. "I need to take Soul Eater with me. Please show me where it is." Cologne simply stared at the gem that came straight from the legends of her village. If the young man carried such a token of power then the sword would be far safer with him than with her small village. Slowly Cologne nodded, ignoring the fact that her great granddaughter had just become the Champion of the Amazons. "Come with me." ======================== Why Me!? A massive Ranma X-Over +++++++++++++++++++++++ A passing Kami sees the many problems in Ranma's life and decides that he deserves a gift for being able to keep a good heart for so long. This gift improves Ranma in many ways. He becomes faster, stronger, and gains a higher Ki level. His scholastic level increases to match his intelligence, thus he becomes one of the top students at Furinkan. It even reaches the point that he can control his mouth (sometimes). He is also physically aged so that he looks more mature. At first Ranma is thrilled with his new found strengths. But then he learns that his two most potent abilities have also been enhanced by the gift: his ability to attract fiancées and his ability to make enemies. Before long these two abilities begin to warp reality and time itself just so more women can fall for him and more people can try to kill him. Will include Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, Magic Knight Rayearth, Bubblegum Crisis, Record of Lodoss War, Ruin Explorers, Slayers, Robotech, Tenchi Muyo (TV), Neon Genesis Evnagelion, Gundum Wing, Devil Hunter Yoko, Dirty Pair, Iria, anything else I come across and like. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Ranma gazed at the being in front of him. With some time to think on it, being really didn't do the thing justice. It was more like a big glob of glowing light. And it somehow managed to stay in front of him as he traveled through the air thanks to a solid kick by Akane. And it was even speaking to him. "So let me get this straight," not that he had it in any form to start with. Ranma found the whole thing almost surreal, or he would if he knew what the word meant. "You wanna help me because you feel like it?" No one ever wanted to help him because he felt like it. The very thought almost seemed impossible. A soft, almost musical voice came from the white globe of energy. "You have remained a good person Ranma, and so I feel you should be rewarded. And as I am the only Kami here, I shall be the one to reward you for your good heart." Ranma looked at the Kami and blinked. "Uh-huh," was his intelligent response. Good things like this never happened to him. Ranma was fighting at a total loss of words when the Kami suddenly surrounded him and engulfed Ranma in its light. Ranma didn't even get a chance to scream. *** Ranma blinked at the test in front of him, and his jaw hung open at the grade that was written on the top. The rest of the class was looking at Akane, who had fainted when she had seen it. After all, a perfect score by Ranma should have been impossible. Slowly, Ranma's jaw closed and his mouth twisted into a smile. Finally, his head raised to look upward. The whispered "Thank-you Kami" was only heard by the few who were near him. Ranma knew without a doubt that this was that Kami's doing.. It had to be, so many other things had improved since he'd met it. He looked older, was stronger and faster, and now smarter too. School was going to be a breeze, and he might even be able to defeat Happosai the next time the pervert showed up. Life really was good. And then he glanced down at the unconscious Akane. She didn't have to be that dramatic about it. Sure it was a surprise, but it wasn't like it shouldn't have been that unexpected. Ranma had told her about the Kami. But he also couldn't leave her on the floor. Getting out of his seat, Ranma picked Akane up and looked over at Ms, Hinako. "I'm gonna take Akane to the nurse." At his teacher's nod, Ranma left the room with Akane in his arms. *** Ranma grumbled as he walked through the woods. Why the hell did Akane have to blame him for the new engagements. It wasn't like he had any say in it. Hell, he found out after Akane had. And that wasn't fair. What was worse was that it wasn't Genma who had made the engagements, but his mother. Her and that damned definition of being manly. He didn't need another four engagements. Hell, he didn't need the two he already had, nor Shampoo who thought she was already his wife. What he needed was to be able to make choices for himself. And what the hell was with that freaky demon thing anyway? He'd never seen a monster made out of a car before. It was probably that woman who was throwing that magic around. At least it looked like magic to him. After all, what else could turn a car into a monster? Grounding his teeth, Ranma gave a disgruntled sigh. He couldn't stay out in the woods forever, no matter how appealing it might be. He needed to somehow solve the whole mess he was stuck in. And then a scream reached his ears. Turning to one side, Ranma took off, moving deeper into the woods. *** Ranma found that he couldn't take his eyes off of the woman on the bed. It wasn't her beauty that kept his eyes there, nor was it the strange clothing she wore. It was the fact that he just knew she wasn't human. Not with ears like hers anyway. They stretched almost 8 inches from their base to the tips. For some reason he found himself fascinated by the oddity of her. And instantly he felt horrible about that. He knew that that was probably how so many people felt about his curse. At least, given everyone's reactions the first time they saw it, it was probably true. He averted his eyes to take in the room that they were in. It seemed like a standard hotel room, a small dresser, a TV, a night stand, a small table and two chairs. And a single bed. And Ranma prayed that none of the fiancées showed up to see that. Or perhaps that would be better since then at least he'd know where he was. All he knew for sure was that when he had left the woods with this woman in his arms, the city he entered was not Nerima. The huge buildings and the walking soda machines gave that away fairly quickly. Hearing a moan, Ranma turned back to the woman, in time to see her eyes open. And something in those deep green eyes caught his attention; a spirit that seemed as free as his own. Ranma suddenly knew he had to say something. "Umm...I found you being attacked by a bunch of green guys. I beat them up and brought you here. Uh... I'm Ranma." The woman watched him for a minute, taking in what he had said, how he had said it, and his looks. Finally she smiled. "I'm Deedlit." *** Ranma gazed across the desk almost stunned. He couldn't truly believe what had just been offered to him. It was something that he didn't want, and it would force him to do something he wasn't sure he could live with, but he knew he really had no choice. After all, he didn't ask for this situation, but he could do something about it. But he would be forced to kill, be forced to take lives. Sure they weren't human lives, but Deedlit wasn't human either. But then, Deed wasn't trying to kill thousands of people. That changed the whole situation. And it was really the end of the story too. If he accepted the offer he'd be able to protect Deed and all the others who were trapped here. He would be able to do some good, and he would be able to protect. But that meant he would be forced to kill as well. Closing his eyes, Ranma thought back through his life. He'd never killed before, he'd never even wanted to take a life. Not seriously anyway. And now he had to do that, he had to choose to kill to protect. And Ranma knew that it was no choice at all. "Okay Roy," he said with a tired sigh, "I'm in. Sign me up." Commander Roy Fokker of the Robotech Defense Force didn't smile; all he did was nod. "You made the right chose Ranma. You're going to save a lot of lives." ***
