Sailor Moon vs. Ranma 1/2
Different Transformations
by Shiaw Chi "Hokodan"
I first want to thank everybody who helped me figure out how to get this
in text form. Finally, quotations! Okay, this is my second fanfic, but
the first one ever posted. I've had a friend read it, and
she thought it was worth reading. I've tried to make the story accessible
to fans of either
Ranma or Sailor Moon, but at least a rudimentary knowledge of both is
recommended.
Any Sailor Moon fan should be able to pick up where this story takes place
(between the
first time Tux got his memory back and the end of the first series).
Ranma has no
timeline, just whatever Viz has released so far. This story is a whopper
that just kept
going and going. This is only the first two parts, but I have eight parts
done already. I try
to keep with the feel of the original stories, but it's just a tad more
serious than usual and
by chapter 2, it does get a little bloody, but pg-13 fair. I'd just like
to give a quick shout out to my editor and buddy, Irene Shih. Now
everyone knows what a crappy job you did! Enough already, on with the
story!
Prologue: Sailor Moon... Defiled?
"Wheeee!" Serena screams as she glides across the snow with the
skill of an
Olympian. The cliff is a steep 70 degrees, but Serena only sees it as a
means to go faster.
She carefully weaves left and right and back to the right avoiding trees,
poles, other
skiers, lord knows what else. She's going so fast she can hardly make
them out anyway.
It doesn't matter to her though, because, because,.... because she isn't
clutzing up right
now! No, quite the opposite. Shifting on her skis as elegantly as she is
beautiful. She
wishes her friends were with her now, and especially Rei; Serena would
kill to see Rei's
face after watching her ski like a professional. Wouldn't she be jealous!
But a passing
thought crosses Serena's mind. I've never been skiing before. Oh well,
maybe this is
just one of those "moon-princess-things" that just come naturally.
All of a sudden, she begins to feel unbalanced. Keeping her skis
straight becomes
more of a struggle. "What's going on," Serena wonders? The sticks begin
to feel as
heavy as trees as she tries to use them to regain her equilibrium. White
begins to fill the
air. The snow is being blown around by a fierce wind. The gale begins to
blow harder
and harder until Serena is caught in a full blown blizzard. The wind and
snow cut
through Serena's parka like daggers.
All through these past few seconds Serena has managed to keep
herself up, but
she finally loses her composure and crumples into a helpless heap. All
she can hear is
the wind blowing, as the coldness grips her tighter and tighter. The wind
almost seems to
be speaking to her, it almost sounds like words.
"WhoooreeeenaaaaSeeeereeeenaaaa!"
the wind finally screams.
"Serena, wake up Serena!" whispers Luna's familiar voice. "Wake
up Serena, it's
important."
"Five more minutes mom, just five more minutes and I'll go to
school..." Luna
shakes her head in frustration. Serena has left her no choice. Luna goes
closely to
Serena's ear, and whispers so loudly it's not really a whisper anymore,
"Wake Up
Meatball Head!"
Serena's eyes flutter open and before Luna knows it, Serena's hand
had grabbed
the back of Luna's neck. For such a clutz, she was pretty fast! "What'd
you just call me
Luna? Like I don't get that enough from Rei and...." Serena trails off as
she is reminded
of her destined love, Darian, who's now in the clutches of the evil Queen
Beryl against
his will. At least, she hopes it's against his will. Tears begin to well
up in her eyes as
she wonders if she's lost Darian for the last time. And all that time she
had treated him
so badly.
Serena regains her composure. "It's four in the morning Luna,"
Serena whispers
so as not to wake the rest of the house, "and tomorrow's a school day so
this better be
important!" Serena feels a cold chill creep up on her. She turns and
notices her curtains
being blown wildly by a strong wind. "And close the windows Luna! Why'd
you open it?
It's freezing tonight, and it turned my dream into a nightmare."
"I didn't open it Serena, I think a prowler did. In fact, you
might want to keep it
down because he's right next to your closet right now!" hisses Luna as she
points at a
small round shadow going through her closet.
"Oh my god, what am I gonna do, oh my god! I know, I'll pretend
I'm still
asleep. He won't bother me as long as I leave him alone," proclaims
Serena as she lays
her head down and closes her eyes.
Luna can't believe what she just saw. Actually, she does. Serena
just doesn't
surprise her anymore. This is the girl who has clashed heads with Zoicite
and emerged
victorious and yet cries when she eats ice cream too fast. "Serena, you
can take this
person, your Sailor Moon, remember? Go punish him for stealing!" Serena
pretends to
snore loudly. At least Luna thinks she's pretending. Then an idea hits
her.
"Serena, I think he's stealing that sweater Andrew gave you for
your birthday,"
lying through her teeth.
"WHAT! Nobody touches that sweater! I don't even wear it because
I'm afraid
it'll lose his scent!" she screams as she jumps off the bed with amazing
speed and turns
on her lamp. "I am Sail...errr. Serena Tsukino of Crossroads junior high,
and on behalf
of my crush on Andrew, I will punish you!" she recites while doing her
repetitive hand
gestures ending with her pointing at the big, tall, scary...midget? And
he wasn't stealing
her sweater, he was stealing....the little pervert was stealing her bras
and panties!
"What are you doing!" screams Serena at him. He was about the
size of Luna,
with his few gray hairs poking out of his makeshift mask tied around his
nose. He was
wearing some sort of dark ninja outfit and carrying a bag larger than he
was. The bag
was so stuffed, the bra's were already overflowing out of it. Serena was
stunned.
Seeing Serena frozen like a deer in the headlights, the thief
decided to take
advantage of this. "Oh my, aren't you a grown girl! Yes, your silky
little darlings will
receive a special spot on my shelf. You should consider it quite an
honor. Let me allow
you to thank me my dear!" as the pervert suddenly launches himself into
Serena's chest.
"AHHHHHH!" she screams, her mind racing, the sicko... he's....
dirty little.... my
breasts... nobody.... Serena regains her senses and with a might she
never knew she had,
bashes her fist into the pervert's head and driving him into the ground.
"HOW DARE
YOU TOUCH ME THERE! WHO ARE YOU!"
"Hmmmm, I've never quite seen a battle aura's like yours before.
Your bosoms
have given me an energy burst I haven't felt in a long time. So much
untapped potential,
how could a person have so much power and yet use so little of it?"
"I'll show you how little of it I use!" she screams as she
attempts to step on his
little head. Before she can grind her heel into him, he's gone.
"Nice try honey, but you'll have to do better than that if you
want to catch the
master of the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts!" cries a voice from
the window sill.
"And in regards to your question, the name's Happosai my dear, and I get
the feeling
we'll be meeting again soon. And if you want to make it sooner, just drop
by the Tendo
Dojo of Anything Goes Martial Arts in the Nerima district and ask for
Ranma Saotome.
He's my apprentice and will make sure you and me...get together again. By
the way, I
love the hair!" he says with a wink as he leaps away into the dark night.
"Happosai," Luna states quizzically.
"Ranma Saotome," Serena thinks out loud as she writes it down.
"I'll get that
little pervert and his stoogie if it's the last thing I do!"
Chapter 1: Another Normal Day at the Tendo Dojo
'"RANMAAAA!" screams a familiar voice. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN
HERE YOU PERVERT!" With that said, Ranma is seen flying out of Akane's
bedroom
window into the carp pond. Girl-type Ranma immediately rises from it, her
orange shirt,
bow tie, and blue pants all dripping wet.
"You think I'd want to go into your room? Who'd want to be in the
same
bedroom as a tomboy like you! I'd rather be in Kuno's bedroom that be in
yours!"
screams back an angry Ranma. "And for your information, I didn't walk
into your
bedroom, I was chased into it by...."
"Ranma dear, where are you. There's no need sparing that heathen
woman's
feelings by refusing yourself your passionate desires for me. Come to me
now my love
and together we shall consummate...," the leotard clad girl trails off as
she walks upon
the female Ranma. "You! You strumpet, what have you done to my darling
Ranma!
Holding him against his will no doubt. Do not fear Ranma dear, I shall
free you from her
treacherous grip as soon as I teach this little prissy a lesson."
Ranma stares at her with a dry look on her face. It was annoying
at first having
Kodachi barge into the Tendo's home looking for him then eventually
fighting him as a
her. Now..., now it was just getting old.
"Haven't we been through this Kodachi? I mean, has it ever
crossed your mind
that 'Ranma darling' might want nothing to do with a lunatic like you!"
Ranma screams,
his patience finally exhausted.
"Oh, how dare you say such baneful things to me you hussy! How
could Ranma,
how could any man, resist the combat rhythmic gymnastic captain of St.
Heberiki High,
the lovely yet lethal black rose, Kodachi Kuno!" and with the final
syllable, she flings her
ball bombs toward Ranma. "Give me back my sweetums right now!"
As usual, Ranma leaps away as they explode behind her. "Don't
call me
sweetums!" Ranma flies at her with her leg extended, heading straight for
Kodachi.
"Why would anyone in there right mind want to call you sweetums.
You my
dear, are not my SWEETUMS!" Kodachi whips out her ribbon and wraps it
around
Ranma's leg, and flings her towards the moon. Ranma does a number of
flips in the air,
and lands in the bushes behind the house. Kodachi's maddening "Ahhhh ha
ha ha ha
ahhhhhh ha ha ha ha!" could be heard in the distance.
"Why does this keep happening to me? If only Akane would chase
afteAHHHHH!" as boiling hot water was suddenly poured onto him. "What the
hell was
that for!" replied boy type Ranma. "Are you trying to burn me!"
"What's the matter Ranma? Don't you want Kodachi's hands all over
you
anyway, you pervert!" Akane follows her outburst by smashing the kettle
into Ranma's
face. "What were you going to say about me Ranma! I came to help you,
and before I
even got there you were already saying something bad about me! I don't
even know why
I bother with you," she cries as her fist smashes Ranma up into the air
again.
Ranma lands with a thud in the front yard. Crumpled into a heap,
Ranma still
mutters out "At least I didn't land in water this time." Then Ranma
realized something.
It was still 3:00 PM, and this being a Friday, the day was most definitely
going to get
worse.
No sooner had Ranma finished that thought, when he heard a loud
CRASH as the
front gates were shattered into splinters once again.
"Ranma Saotome!" yelled a familiar aristocratic voice. "You
heathen! Not only
to you hold my goddess in pig tails hostage, deceive the Tendo's into
giving Akane her
hand in marriage, but you also greatly disrespect a member of the Kuno
family. Albeit tis
true my sister is a mere zealot with a severe sociability problem,
obviously due to her
isolation in a confined all girl school, which also severely hampered what
little sanity she
had, nonetheless she is my sister and a member of the Kuno family, so
prepare to tremble
in the face of the Blue Thunder of Furikan High, quake as Tatewaki Kuno's
blade falls
upon your feeble head..." before he has a chance to continue his dialogue
a bicycle wheel
had embedded itself into the back of his head driving him face first into
the ground.
"Ni Hao Ranma," chirps a cute little voice with a heavy Chinese
accent.
"Ni Hao to you too Shampoo," replies a very tired Ranma.
"Mrmmmmm!"
"Why Kuno put head under Shampoo bike?"
With a surge of strength, Kuno lifts himself up, throwing the bike
off him by a
couple of feet. "I did not place my head under your vehicle you doltish
Chinese floozy!"
Kuno then turns his attention to Ranma, who was still lying on the ground
looking bored.
"Saotome, do you fear me so much that you would have your Chinese wench
protect your
cowardly hide. Fight me for the love of Akane Tendo and the pig-tailed
girl!"
Shampoo lands evenly on the bikes two wheels. "Kuno rude to
Shampoo, and
Kuno rude to husband. Shampoo think she teach Kuno lesson on manners"
Shampoo
leaps off her bike and while in the air, draws her two maces, then dives
towards Kuno.
"A challenge is it? Although I usually do not degrade my
standards to fight
helpless woman, I shall make an exception for you!" Kuno leaps towards
Shampoo with
his kendo sword drawn. "Shed no tears when I, Tatewaki Kuno, strikes you
down!"
As they draw within range of each other, Shampoo blocks Kuno's
sword with one
ball, and strikes Kuno in the face with the other. Kuno falls slackly to
the ground in the
usual "Ranma 1/2" pose. Shampoo lands smoothly to the ground.
"Shampoo no break sweat. You no worth Shampoo time." Shampoo
turns
around expecting to see Ranma's waiting arms, but finds he has since left.
"Where
Ranma go? Ranma no worry, Shampoo find you."
As she prepares to leap again, a voice yells "Ha Ha Ha! Do you
think the shining
star of Tokyo, the captain of the Kendo club, could be so easily defeated?
Face me as I
shall smite you for your gull!" Kuno rushes at Shampoo swinging his sword
wildly.
Shampoo is narrowly dodging every blow.
"So you not as weak as Shampoo think. Shampoo might get serious
now."
"Good afternoon Ranma. How was school today?" Kasumi asked with
her ever
sugar-sweet voice.
"Same as it ever is Kasumi. Is there anything to eat?" replied
Ranma, walking
into the kitchen.
Soun and Genma are sitting down for their usual game of go. Genma
is in his
panda form. "Ha ha ha Genma. It looks like you've finally run out of
luck."
Genma holds up a sign "(Girl-Type) Ranma, put your clothes on."
"Whu!!!!!!" startles Soun, quickly turning around. Genma quickly
moves some
pieces while he's distracted.
Ranma, sitting at the table and stuffing his mouth with food,
began wondering "I
wonder what happened to Kodachi? And why isn't Akane here beating me up?
Maybe I
should look for her."
"What are you talking about Genma, your son is in boy form and
fully clothed."
Genma holds up another sign saying "What were you doing trying to
look at my
NAKED SON!"
"Errr....nothing, um, let's continue playing shall we. Your move
isn't it?"
A loud CRASH followed by a SMASH vibrates into the house. "Oh my.
Are
your friends visiting again Ranma? I do hope they don't set the house on
fire again. It's
such a bother for those nice fire men to come here every week" Kasumi
then continues
to prepare dinner.
Kodachi is seen flying out of the Dojo on her back. "My Ranma
dear would have
nothing to do with a vile temptress like you! First the pig-tailed girl
and now you dare try
to interfere with the budding passion between me and my love!" Kodachi
throws her
spiked clubs at Akane, who dodges them.
"I don't care what you and that pervert Ranma do, just get out of
my way while
you're doing it!" cries Akane punching and missing Kodachi. "Honestly, I
can't even get
a quiet work out anymore since Ranma moved in," thinks Akane.
"The pig-tailed trollop had the sense to flee from me. Apparently
you do not
share in her intelligence!" Another ball bomb is thrown at Akane. She
avoids it but it
explodes into a suffocating gas.
"Koff, koff, can't breathe," mutters Akane as she begins to slump
to the ground.
Kodachi's silhouette can be seen emerging from the smoke. She has her
spiked club over
her head preparing to strike.
"Die panderer!"
Kodachi is suddenly tackled and thrown onto the ground. "Who
dares!" She
opens her eyes to see the face of her love on top of her.
"Oh my, Ranma dear! She suddenly grabs Ranma's head and prepares
to kiss
him. "Yes my love, let us join our affections right here and now!"
"Uhh..., no Kodachi..., this isn't the time or place...let go of
me," declares Ranma
as he tries to push himself off Kodachi. Suddenly an elbow caves in the
top of his head.
"I don't know Ranma. Maybe this is the perfect time and place for
you and
Kodachi TO DO WHATEVER YOUR HORMONES TELL YOU BECAUSE DON'T
LET ME STAND IN THE WAY OF NATURE!" Akane then walks away, tears begin
welling in her eyes. "Frankly Ranma, I don't care anymore what you're
doing or who
you're doing it with.," Akane whimpers out as the tears become
uncontrollable. She runs
back to the house.
"Akane, wait! It's not what it looks like. It's never what it
looks like; you should
realize that by now!" Ranma squirms free of Kodachi and begins to pursue
Akane.
"Ranma love! Forget that felicitous whelp and come drink from the
sweet nectar
of the black rose of... BONK!"
Kodachi is flattened under a large spatula, apparently
unconscious. "Stay away
from my Ranma honey!" roars Ukyou. "He ain't gonna be drinking anything
of yours!
Probably laced with poison anyways." Ukyou turns around and begins to
pursue Ranma
herself. With one hand, she puts the spatula back in her holster, and is
holding an
okynomiyaki in the other. "I made this just for you Ranma honey!"
As the bus pulls away from the stop, five girls and two cats are
revealed. The girl
with the two longs braids is fumbling with a map, turns it around, then
back upside down
again. She is obviously confused.
"Are we in the Nerima district yet Serena? I didn't think so!
Just give me that
map," the girl with long black hair yells as she pulls the map from
Serena.
"Hey! You just had to asked nicely. And what makes you think you
can read a
map any better than I can?"
"Because I'm not a clumsy, ditzy, meatball head!"
"I know why you're so grumpy. You're just jealous that I'm the
moon princess
and that Tuxedo Mask is mine!" Serena surprised by what she just said,
suddenly stops,
fumbling for the words to quickly apologize. "I, I didn't mean... I
mean...."
Rei, just like everybody else, is taken aback by the statement.
However, Rei
quickly recovers and screams "Apparently you didn't do a very good job of
keeping him,
did you, because right now Queen Beryl has him!" Rei then too becomes
quite. Rei is
struggling to fight back the tears, and not succeeding.
Serena makes no attempt to hold back the tears and lets out a
"WAAAAAAH!
It's not my fault you know! You think I wanted to be the stupid moon
princess in the
first place! I didn't even like Darian until 2 weeks ago! I never asked
for any of this
cr...stuff." She falls on the ground sobbing as usual.
Everyone is silent, not knowing what to say. Lita and Luna
attempt to comfort
Serena. Rei has her back turned to the crowd.
"Geez Artemis, I'm beginning to think we were better off on our
own," whispers
Mina.
"Give it some time Mina. Everything is happening too fast for
everybody to
adjust. Besides, if we're to have any chance against Queen Beryl, we all
have to stick
together," whispers back the white cat on her shoulder.
Amy interrupts the silence. "Um, I think I have some good news,
or bad news
depending on how you look at it. According to my computer..." says Amy as
she punches
buttons on her pink planner "...we're in the Nerima district. And I'm
also picking up
some extremely powerful energy signals coming from just a block away."
She punches
some more buttons. "Yes, it's the Tendo Dojo, we made it!"
She then wrinkles her face into a frown. "But this is very odd.
We usually do get
a powerful energy reading from a Negaverse creature, but that's usually
after they've
sucked a decent amount of energy already. Not only do I not sense any
other energy
drained individuals in the area, but I'm getting multiple high energy
readings, way above
the average human. This doesn't make sense..."
Before she could continue her examination, Serena had begun
running towards
the Dojo, with everyone else in tow.
"See Rei, I did find Nerima after all. If it wasn't for me, we
wouldn't have found
this new negaverse threat either. I'll be expecting an apology anytime."
Serena then
sticks out her tongue and pulls down one eye. "Nyaaaa!"
"Even meatball heads like you get lucky once in a while!" Rei
does the same
gesture, and the two can be seen fighting as they run off into the
distance, with Amy
playing catch up to everyone else.
"Wait for me," she yells, still fumbling with her computer.
"Akane, wait up!" yells Ranma as he tries to catch up with her.
He turns the
corner into the front yard expecting anything but what he saw.
Akane was just standing there, her back turned to him. Even
without seeing her
face, it was obvious she was crying. In the background, Kuno and Shampoo
could still be
seen fighting in a haze of smoke.
"Akane...me and Kodachi weren't doing anything. But if it means
anything...
I'm..." Ranma trails off. What am I doing? Was I just about to apologize
to that tomboy
for no reason! What does she care anyway? What do I care! Unless...
"Akane, I'm...
I'm sor...I'm sorry for what just happened. Even though you're a macho
chick, I'd
never... mean to hurt... you," Ranma whispers out the last word, half of
him wanting her
to hear it, the other half afraid of her reaction to it.
Kuno is seen flying across the background. Then running back
yelling
"tatatatattattata," performing his quick strike technique.
Akane turns around, her eyes still soaked with tears. Despite
that, a certain
happiness and eagerness were seen in them. "Do you *sniff* mean it,
Ranma?" she says
wiping the tears from her eyes.
Ranma begins to walk up to her, not knowing what he was doing but
completely
trusting his impulse. "Akane, I..."
Before he could finish, a splash of water soaks him through,
turning him back into
girl-type. They both turn around to look at the interferer. Ukyou was
seen, holding a
now empty bucket, with a very upset look on her face.
"Yeah Ranchan, do you mean it. Come on, tell me the truth? Am I
the cute one
or is she!"
Kuno could be seen flying again.
"Moon Crystal Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
The girls are surrounded by different colored flashes of light as
unexplained
backgrounds start popping up behind them. They begin running into the
dojo as soon as
their transformations are finished.
"Wait up everybody, my readings are concluding that..." As she
runs toward
everybody else, she notices everyone is already transformed. "Oh what the
hey...
Mercury Star Power!"
Both of the girls around him were on the verge of tears, but he
felt like he should
be the one crying. "Why me?" he wonders. He knows he doesn't want to
hurt Akane,
but Ukyou is one of his best friends. He was stuck between a rock and a
hard place.
"Uhhh, Akane.....ummmm, Ukchan....um um um um...." stammers out
Ranma.
"Well!" both Akane and Ukyou shout out.
"Which one of you is Ranma Saotome!" shouts a blond haired girl
with two long braids dressed in a sailor outfit.
Everyone stops to look at the four new sailor clad girls. Even
Kuno and Shampoo
stop fighting. Kuno notices a fifth girl catching up to the rest of the
crowd.
"I'm Ranma Saotome!" exclaims Ranma happily. "I doubt this is
good news, but
it sure couldn't be worse than fending off both Akane and Ukyou," he
thinks.
"I am Sailor Moon, champion of justice and defender of the
innocent. I fight for
innocent girls against pervert lechers like you," she says performing the
oh-so-familiar
motions. "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"
Author: I guess that was pretty long for only two parts, huh? Oh well.
Any criticisms or
comments would be appreciated. Send them to schi@uci.edu. By the way, I
usually like to nearly finish a story before posting it because I often go back to
reedit some things. By the way, I have no idea what school hours are in
Japan, so bear with the fact that their home from school at 3.
For now, I'll be releasing everything in two part blocks. I know the
plot's not formed yet, but have patience, remember, this thing is running
to almost 90 pgs. The action starts to fly in the
next chapter, "Round One, Fight!" It's already out, so go read it
already!
Jya Ne!
